Regular monthly update of impact of COVID on the suite of immigration programs: Permanent Residents, Temporary Residents, Asylum Seekers, International Students, Settlement Services, Citizenship and Visitor Visas. The major change is with respect to Permanent Resident Admissions, which have more than doubled from 17,085 in May to 36,625 in June for all three classes. Compared to June 2019, however, only the Economic class increased. (Minister Mendicino just revealed that July admissions are close to 40,000, indicating government was well on its way to meeting this year's questionable target of 401,000 new Permanent Residents). Close to three-quarters of new Permanent Residents were former Temporary Residents transitioning. Temporary Residents (International Mobility Program) were up significantly while Temporary Foreign Worker Program was stable. Study permit applications and permits also increased, both on a year-over-year basis as well as compared to 2019. While the number of new citizens has increased compared to May, compared to 2019 the numbers are down by over half.
