Canada Immigration New Rules And Plan 2023-2025

Canada has announced its Immigration Level Plan for 2023-2025. The Immigration Level Plan serves as an immigration guide outlining immigration goals for the next three years. The latest plan aims to welcome 500,000 new immigrants to Canada by 2025.

The majority of eligible new immigrants are admitted through economy class programs such as Express Entry and State Nominee Programs (PNP). Canada will seek to receive 305,820 new immigrants under the Express Entry and 332,500 new immigrants under the Provincial Nominee Program by 2025. The total number of migrants in economy class by 2025 will be 848,595.

Canada also aims to bring together immigrant families in the country under its prestigious Family Class Sponsorship, the second largest program in the Immigration Level Plan for 2023-2025. Canada aims to welcome approximately 240,000 new immigrants by 2025 through the Spouses, Partners, and Children program. Additionally, the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) will target 98,500 new immigrants by 2025. Canada is well known and has a reputation for expanding asylum for displaced people fleeing dangerous conditions in their home countries. The overall refugee class target set in the plan is 224,750 new immigrants by 2025.

Ten Canadian provinces and their Provincial Candidate Programs (PNPs) will receive the largest number of new immigrants in the next three years. As the government plays a central role in the country’s growth, it raises revenue under regional immigration programs such as the PNP. This is the exact opposite of what we have experienced in recent years. Canada’s renowned Federal Higher Skills (FHS) category typically includes programs administered under Express Entry and brings in the highest number of new immigrants. Earlier in 2022 immigration plans, Canada welcomed 83,500 new permanent residents through PNP. This was the first time Canada required more immigrants under the PNP than Express Entry since Express Entry was introduced in 2015.

Canada is known for offering one of the best “family reunification” programs in the world and this new plan continues to demonstrate its strong commitment to immigrant families. A large number of immigrants using Family Class Sponsorship are also expected to benefit from the new Immigration Level Plan 2023-2025. In addition to the State Candidate Program (PNP), other regional immigration programs will become increasingly important. Canada has long debated how to attract more immigrants to its rural communities. The Atlantic Migration Program and Rural and Northern Migration Pilots are two programs designed to support this initiative.

Immigration Secretary Sean Fraser said Express Entry will launch targeted lotteries in 2023 to attract new immigrants to poor neighborhoods. With 100 job openings, Canada is currently in a unique phase. With a new immigration level plan for 2023-2025, Canada is set to set a new record in 2023. If successful, Canada would have surpassed the record she received 400,000 new permanent residents in a single year in 1913 for the third year in a row.

Critical labor market bottlenecks have led many to look to immigration as a way to address these critical bottlenecks. The new plan includes immigration as a strategy to make it easier for companies to find workers. It also aims to acquire the skills necessary to fill key sectors such as healthcare, crafts, manufacturing, and technology. This will help Canada meet the social and economic challenges it will face in the decades to come. Over the next three years, Canada will increase the number of new immigrants arriving each year. Canada has set a goal of welcoming 465,000 new immigrants by 2023. The target increases to 485,000 new immigrants by 2024. And in 2025 she will again see an increase of 500,000 new immigrants. The plan also focuses on attracting newcomers to different parts of the country, such as small towns and rural communities.

The new plan also aims to strengthen regional programs to meet the needs of targeted local labor markets through the State Candidate Program, Atlantic Immigration Program, and Rural and Northern Immigration Pilots. Last year, Canada welcomed over 405,000 newcomers. Canada aims to break that record in 2022 by welcoming about 432,000 by the end of the year. 

Express Entry is Canada’s most popular method for new permanent residents to immigrate to Canada. This system governs three major federal economic programs: Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Federal Skilled Worker (FST), and Canadian Experience Class (CEC). The target for express immigrants (persons, spouses, and dependents) will increase to 82,880 in 2023, 109,020 in 2024, and 114,000 in 2025. The PNP remains Canada’s leading admissions program for economy-class immigrants, with targets increasing to 105,500 in 2023, 110,000 in 2024, and 117,500 in 2025.

Canada currently has high humanitarian class targets. This is due to our continued efforts to receive approximately 40,000 refugees from Afghanistan and complete several campaigns, including helping those fleeing the war in Ukraine. Overall Goals for the Refugee Class are just over 76,000 new landings in 2023 and 2024, respectively, dropping to 72,750 in 2025. Similarly, the humanitarian class target will decrease from about 16,000 in 2023 to 8,000 in 2025.

Canada has historically welcomed many newcomers to keep its economy strong. Canada is currently facing a period of unprecedented and historic labor shortages with nearly 1 million job openings. Both are driving forces for the country’s growing migration destinations.

Job openings across the country hit a record high of nearly 1 million, according to Statistics Canada. That’s a 2.7% increase for him from his previous peak last quarter and over 80% of his pre-pandemic levels. This was the highest since records began in recent years. Vacancies continue to rise in some major industries. The health and social services sector was hit hardest. Due to the aging population, the health and social welfare sector is growing rapidly. Shortages have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
