Refugees and Citizenship
Canada (IRCC) publishes an
immigration level plan as a
guide to how many immigrants
are allowed to come to Canada
each year. Includes immigration
breakdowns for economy, family
and humanitarian class plans for
the next three years. This year,
forecasts for 2023, 2024 and
2025 are shown.
 Under Canada's primary
immigration law, the
Immigration and Refugee
Protection Act (IRPA), the
government must issue this
proclamation by November 1
each year. This is the second
immigration level plan
announced in 2022, first
announced in February after the
latest federal election on
September 20, 2021.

3. Why are there two announcements this year?
 The plans for 2022-2024 were not announced until
February 2022, rather than the normally planned
November 1, 2021.
 After the election, parliament will not reopen until
November 22, 2021, after which it will remain open for
only 19 days before the holiday. In this case, IRPA
requires plans to be announced within 30 days of
parliament's resumption. In this case, Parliament
resumes in mid-January 2022.
 Now that Parliament is in full swing, the government will
proceed with releasing the newest Immigration Levels
Plan on its regular schedule.

4. The current Immigration Levels Plan
 Under the 2022-2024 Immigration Levels Plan, Canada aims to welcome
431,645 new permanent residents in all immigration categories in 2022.
 As of 2022, Canada has welcomed more than 300,000 new permanent
residents. Most of them are from the economy class program. The
economic class immigration target for 2022 is 241,850, or about 60% of the
total immigration. The 2022 plan also covers 105,000 family migrants and
8,250 refugee and humanitarian categories.
 All of these targets are subject to change once the new 2023-2025
Immigration Levels Plan is released and will no longer be used as a
benchmark for IRCC's immigration targets. Under the 2022-2024
Immigration Levels Plan, Canada aims to welcome 431,645 new permanent
residents in all immigration categories in 2022.

5. What to expect?
 Typically, the Immigration Levels Plan contains new increases, and are
currently at their highest levels ever. For example, less than 10 years
ago the total target for 2016 was 250,000 immigrants. In 2021, IRCC
broke the record for the largest number of permanent residents ever,
totaling over 405,000 even during uncertainty brought by the
pandemic
 The current overall target for 2023 is 447,055, rising slightly to 451,000
by 2024.
 IRCC will work with various other government departments and
stakeholders to develop a balanced immigration level plan to allocate
permanent resident places in each subsequent course or program.
 Immigration Minister Sean Fraser told CIC News in June that he would
consult with states to better understand their labour market needs. ).
They believe it is more appropriate to target skilled immigrants needed
to strengthen the workforce and fill gaps in Canada's workforce.

6.  The minister also said he could foresee a target of up to
500,000 new permanent residents a year for the next few
years, but he did not specify when.
 "Look, I didn't put it in my watch," he said. "I think we're
going to get there. We're adding more than 1 percent of the
population through our existing pathways. That trajectory will
continue. I don't know what year, it's going to depend on the
needs of the community."
 Based on data from IRCC, as of August 31, there are 513, 923
applications for permanent residency waiting to be processed.
IRCC recently announced that it was working to improve
client services and speed up processing time by hiring over
1,000 new employees, moving to a 100% digital application
process, and overall making investments to modernize the
aging technology that the department relies on

7. Why is Canada welcoming more immigrants
 The Immigrant Levels Plan is developed by IRCC in
consultation with various government departments to
support IRCC's mission of welcoming and assisting
immigrants in economic development, family
reunification, and humanitarian assistance. I'm.
 Newcomers are especially important to the Canadian
economy because they contribute through work and
paying income tax. For example, these taxes are designed
to support infrastructure, healthcare, education,
pensions, and more. Canada's population is aging, with
baby boomers born between 1946 and the early 1960s
reaching the retirement age of 65. More immigrants help
Canada maintain a high standard of living.
