Canada's 2023-2025 Immigration Levels Plan

Last week, the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, released Canada’s 2023-2025 Immigration Levels Plan, signaling to Canadians that the Government of Canada intends to address unprecedented talent shortages and workforce challenges in this country with ambitious immigration targets and a focus on economic growth.

In 2021, Canada welcomed the most immigrants in a single year in its history, with nearly 406,000 permanent residents in the economic, family reunification, and refugee/humanitarian streams. By contrast, the 2023-2025 Levels Plan sets aggressive targets of 465,000 permanent residents in 2023, 485,000 in 2024, and 500,000 in 2025. The plan also places greater emphasis on the economic immigration stream by setting a goal for 60% of all admissions to come from that stream by 2025.
