According to the new Canadian immigration plan, a record 431,645 new permanent residents will be able to move to Canada in 2022. Canadian Immigration Minister Sean Fraser announced the three-year plan for immigration to Canada on February 14, 2022, and noted that more foreign workers are needed to help fill thousands of Canadian job openings. This is a big increase over the record 405,000 people who were able to become a Canadian permanent resident in 2021. During 2023, the plan is for 447,000 immigrants to move to Canada as permanent residents and in 2024, that climbs to 451,000 new immigrants. The majority of people approved for immigration to Canada are skilled foreign workers along with their close family members. Millions of Canadian workers will be retiring this decade and there are not enough younger workers to replace them, so hundreds of thousands of immigrants are needed to help fill these positions and the new jobs in Canada that will be created in the future.
