On November 1, local time, the Canadian Ministry of Immigration released the "2024-2026 Immigration Levels Plan," which will welcome 1.485 million new immigrants over the next three years, setting a new historical record! The details are as follows:
2024: 485,000 permanent residents
2025: 500,000 permanent residents
2026: 500,000 permanent residents
The Immigration Levels Plan serves as a guideline for the number of immigrants Canada welcomes each year. The new immigration plan once again emphasizes Canada's immigration goals: prioritizing economic growth, supporting family reunification, and addressing humanitarian crises, while responding to the rapid increase in immigration numbers in recent years.
According to the 2024-2026 Immigration Levels Plan, in 2024, Canada will welcome approximately 281,135 economic immigrants, accounting for 58% of the annual target. By 2026, this number will increase to 301,250, representing 60% of the annual target.
Among these, the provincial nomination quotas will continue to rise: there will be 110,000 quotas in 2024; 120,000 in 2025; and 120,000 in 2026. The target number for the Federal Express Entry (EE) will also be further increased: there will be 110,700 quotas in 2024; 117,500 in 2025; and 117,500 in 2026.
In addition to economic immigrants, family reunification immigrants will be the second largest category among all immigrants, with significant growth expected over the next three years. The total quota for 2024 is 114,000, which will reach 118,000 by 2026, maintaining a total proportion of 24%. The number of refugees and humanitarian immigrants will continue to decline over the next three years.
Furthermore, to promote the development of French culture, the 2024-2026 Immigration Plan specifically mentions increasing the proportion of French-speaking permanent residents outside Quebec. Building on the goal of having 4.4% of permanent residents outside Quebec be French-speaking by 2022, the target will be raised to 6% of all immigrants in 2024, 7% in 2025, and 8% in 2026. This measure aims to strengthen the presence of French in Canadian society and maintain multiculturalism.
The Canadian Minister of Immigration pointed out that the Immigration Levels Plan aims to support Canada's economic growth, alleviate labor shortages, and balance pressures in areas such as housing, healthcare, and infrastructure. He stated: "Starting in 2026, the government will stabilize the number of permanent residents at 500,000, allowing time for successful integration into society while continuing to expand Canada's labor market. The government also plans to take action next year to readjust the number of temporary residents accepted to ensure that this aspect of our immigration system remains sustainable."
