The new Immigration Levels Plans announced by Canada are being looked upon as a positive sign for immigrants who aspire to study in Canada.
Immigration Levels Plan is announced by the government of Canada every year, and it gives an outline about the target number of immigrants who will be invited to apply for Canadian Permanent residence by the government in the upcoming years and also gives details about the categories under which they will be admitted. The categories under which candidates are admitted is as follows:
· Economic
· Family
· Refugee
· Humanitarian and compassionate grounds.
Canada is on its way to make history and aim for a record-breaking immigration level in its history. The high level of immigration planned is due to the steep decline in Canada’s immigration rate and its population growth caused due to the Coronavirus pandemic and to boost Canada’s economy and labor market.
As per the immigration plan, Canada is targeting the following level of new permanent residents:
In 2021, Canada is set to welcome 401,000 immigrants.
In 2022, Canada is set to welcome 411,000 immigrants.
In 2023, Canada will target the highest number of immigrants in its history by inviting 421,000 immigrants to apply for permanent residence.
IRCC has stated the category from which they are aiming to target the highest number of candidates is economic immigrants. Canada has set a target of bringing 723,500 of this category into the country between the years 2021 and 2023.
60% of all immigrants in the 2021-2023 immigration plans will be invited under the economic class programs, which will include the Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Program.
This is a huge boost for students as mostly all students fall under the Economic class category.
