Canada Immigration Plans for 2024 to 2026

Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada is delighted to present the specifics of the Canadian Government’s Immigration Quotas for 2024-2026.

Consistent with the path outlined in the 2023-2025 Strategy, Canada aims to embrace 485,000 fresh permanent residents in 2024, succeeded by 500,000 in 2025, and 500,000 in 2026.

This strategy prioritizes stimulating economic expansion while simultaneously endorsing family reunification. Additionally, it remains sensitive to humanitarian emergencies and considers the substantial rise in immigration observed in recent years.

This plan prioritizes promoting economic growth while simultaneously providing assistance for family reunification. It also stays attuned to humanitarian crises and considers the substantial uptick in immigration in recent years.

Migrants play a crucial role in the job market and the continued expansion of our economy. They contribute to ensuring that Canada possesses the essential expertise to achieve important goals, such as supporting sustainability initiatives for the transition to a green (net-zero) and digital economy.

Moreover, they assist in alleviating shortages in the workforce in vital areas such as healthcare, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), skilled trades, transportation, and agriculture.

As a result, this guarantees that these deficits do not hinder the prosperity and growth of Canadian enterprises.

Within the Family Class framework, the existence of familial assistance is pivotal for the welfare and societal integration of newcomers. Additionally, it yields financial advantages, as spouses and partners frequently join the workforce, adding to household earnings, while parents and grandparents frequently offer childcare services, allowing their sponsors to engage in or sustain their employment.

Canada steadfastly upholds its enduring tradition of providing sanctuary to those requiring it, and the Government’s unwavering commitment to fulfilling humanitarian obligations endures.

Embracing newcomers goes beyond simply achieving immigration targets; it must also encompass considerations regarding the assistance and resources needed by newcomers and Canadians alike, including elements such as housing and medical care.

With this objective in mind, coordination, cooperation, communication, and alliances assume a crucial role in the effective integration of newcomers, guaranteeing that the essential support systems are established to promote their favorable results.

Following this strategy, and to guide this strategy, IRCC has commenced initial steps to create a comprehensive government-wide and society-wide strategy for admissions planning. This endeavor seeks to foster unified planning and collaboration among different tiers of government, as well as with collaborators and stakeholders.
