Canada increases target to 432,000 immigrants in 2022

Canada is increasing its immigration targets and will look to welcome almost 432,000 new immigrants in 2022 instead of its initial plan of 411,000 newcomers. 

Over the coming three years, Canada will target the following number of new immigrant landings: (see image for immigration class breakdown)

2022: 431,645 permanent residents

2023: 447,055 permanent residents

2024: 451,000 permanent residents

Canada's focus is on attracting skilled workers to tackle the labour shortage.  With America's borders relatively shut to newcomers, Canada is reaping the rewards of the very best immigrants who will continue to call Canada home.  

It's possible that we will see more than the targeted number of immigrants this year, as Canada has opened it's doors to Ukrainian refugees who are being displaced by the conflict.  

Now all we need to do is find somewhere for all of them to live.
