Immigration targets are the number of immigrants that a country or region sets for itself each year. This number is determined by the government and is based on the country’s economic and social needs. Canada is one of the most welcoming countries in the world when it comes to immigration, and it has set ambitious immigration targets for itself.
In 2020, Canada set a target of 341,000 new permanent residents. This number is broken down into three categories: economic immigrants, family reunification immigrants, and refugees. The 2025 target is 500,000 new permanent residents.
Canada’s immigration targets are designed to ensure that the country is able to meet its economic and social needs. The government takes into account the number of jobs available, the skills needed in the workforce, and the number of family members who need to be reunited. The government also considers the number of refugees who need to be resettled in Canada.
Canada’s immigration targets are constantly changing and evolving. The government reviews the targets each year to ensure that they are still meeting the country’s needs. They also adjusts the targets to reflect changes in the global economy and the number of refugees who need to be resettled.
Allowing immigration into Canada ensure that the country is able to meet its economic and social needs while also providing a safe and welcoming home for those who need it.
