As is well known, the Canadian government first announced its three-year (2018-2020) immigration plan in November of last year, which involved a progressive annual increase and the planned admission of nearly one million immigrants within three years, causing quite a stir.
Recently, the Canadian federal government announced its new immigration quota plan for the next three years (2019-2021) in Ottawa. Specifically, the immigration quota is 330,800 for 2019, 341,000 for 2020, and will increase to 350,000 in 2021. The total number of immigrants to be admitted under the three-year plan is 1.0218 million. It is clear that Canada will further increase the volume of immigrant admissions over these three years.
According to the announced plan, the new immigrants accepted by Canada will include economic class immigrants, family reunification class immigrants, and refugees. The majority will be economic immigrants, accounting for approximately 58% of the total number.
Canada's Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Ahmed Hussen, stated that Canada's immigration plan remains focused on attracting the "best" and "brightest" talent from around the world. The 2021 quota will prioritize high-skilled economic immigrants.
The federal Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship stated that immigration is the cornerstone of Canada's future economic success. In addition to helping stimulate economic growth and innovation, admitting immigrants also helps Canada cope with the pressures of an aging population.
Official Canadian data shows that from 2017 to 2018, 80% of Canada's population growth came from international immigration. Among the new permanent residents in 2017, 56% were economic class immigrants.
As everyone knows, Canada possesses a robust welfare system and is renowned globally as a major welfare state. Its public healthcare system, family allowances, retirement pensions, unemployment benefits, disability assistance, and social welfare payments are among the best in the world, ensuring that citizens and permanent residents are well-cared for in their old age and have access to medical treatment when ill.
Currently, against the backdrop of tightening immigration policies worldwide, Canada's annually increasing immigration quotas, combined with the immigration authorities' open attitude and the continuous introduction of favorable immigration policies, ensure that Canada will inevitably become one of the world's preferred immigration destinations.
