November 16, 2023 — Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, has laid out Canada’s immigration targets for 2024-2026.
The plan calls for 485,000 permanent residents for 2024, 500,000 in 2025, and another 500,000 in 2026.
“Through this plan,” Miller stated in a November 1, 2023 media release, “we are striking the appropriate balance to grow Canada’s economy, while maintaining our humanitarian tradition, supporting Francophone immigration, and developing a more collaborative approach to levels planning with our partners.”
