Canada raises immigration targets, aims for 500,000 new immigrants per year by 2025

The Canadian government is planning a massive increase in the number of immigrants entering Canada, with a goal of seeing 500,000 people arrive each year by 2025.

Immigration Minister Sean Fraser revealed the new targets Tuesday, saying the move is necessary to ensure Canada’s economic prosperity.

The new plan puts an emphasis on increasing the number of immigrants who will be admitted based on their work skills or experience over the next three years.

Previously, Ottawa’s immigration goals planned for 401,000 new permanent residents in 2021, 411,000 in 2022, and 421,000 in 2023.
