Canada sets ambitious immigration targets for post-pandemic recovery

[peace123]

Canada Federal Immigration Minister Sean Fraser said in his newly released plan that Canada will admit 431,645 permanent residents in 2022,
447,055 in 2023 and 451,000 in 2024.

Sean Fraser said the government also managed to pivot during the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, and has committed to resettle 40,000 Afghan refugees in Canada. So far 7,550 Afghan refugees have arrived.

The government expects about 57 per cent of new permanent residents over the next 3 years to apply through economic streams, but the number of new refugees is expected to be higher than previous estimates as well.

While the government projected 60,500 refugees and protected persons will receive permanent status in Canada in 2022, that number has now been increased to 76,545

But I am feeling they are neglecting refugees in all of their plans

Yes, true there main focus is economic immigration. But they increased the target of refugee but still its not enough

I don’t know why they don’t focus on this issue family reunification should be priority too

Refugee targets doesn’t mean that there will be a change in who gets approved for asylum. 25-35k is likely only from Afghanistan so numbers have not changed much. Lots of economic immigrants have had their files on hold so there will be a lot of approval of economic immigrants. This is also always contingent on the economy and Covid. Targets are only targets and with a minority government anything can happen.
