Canada is expanding its immigration targets for 2019 and 2020 and will broaden its multi-year migration levels plan through 2021, setting the phase for the entry of 1.3 million new permanent residents somewhere between 2018 and 2021.

The progressions were declared as a major aspect of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC’s) 2017 report to Parliament on October 31.

Expanding targets and broadening the plan by one more year, Canada is now to welcome around 1.3 million newcomers through the nation’s different economic, humanitarian and refugee immigration classifications somewhere in-between 2018 and 2021. The new 2019-2021 arrangement calls for step by step expanding admission targets every year up to 350,000 in 2021.

Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Ahmed Hussen, said in his introduction report that “Under this arrangement, Canada will welcome more capable specialists with skills and aptitude our economy needs, reunite more relatives and accommodate more refugees hoping to begin new lives.”

Important roles for Express Entry

The financial migration programs managed by the government Express Entry economic framework and Canada’s Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) will keep on assuming vital role under the plan, which grows the potential number of admissions through each program in 2019.

Of the 1.3 million new permanent residents that Canada is getting ready for before the finish of 2021, almost a quarter (331,000) are anticipated to get through the three economic migration classes managed by Express Entry, in light of their yearly targets.

PNPs, in the meantime, have a consolidated focus of 255,100 over the four years, which represents right around 19 percent of the aggregate admissions over that period.

Economic migration programs, in general, will be taking a major share of newcomers somewhere between 2018 and 2021, with around 60 percent of the 1.3 million new permanent residents through one of Canada’s Economic Class programs. Different programs in this class incorporate the Atlantic Immigration Pilot and economic immigration programs managed by the area of Quebec.

Hussen said this viewpoint on financial movement addresses the “new challenges” that Canada is confronting today, to be specific, a maturing population and a declining birth rate.
