Canada to Grant Permanent Residency to 465,000 Immigrants

Canadian immigration levels are being increased to historic levels over the next three years, as Canada seeks more foreign workers. Canada’s government revealed on November 1, 2022, that it plans to welcome a record 465,000 immigrants to live in Canada as permanent residents during 2023. This is substantially more than the 431,645 people who can immigrate to Canada in 2022. The yearly goals for Canadian immigration rise even higher to 485,000 new permanent residents in 2024 and 500,000 in 2025.
