Canada set to announce the latest
Immigration Levels Plan
2023-2025. www.esseindia.com
The Canadian government is expected to announce the latest Immigration Levels Plan by November 1, 2022.
Each year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) publishes an immigration level plan as a guide to how many immigrants are allowed to come to Canada each year. Includes immigration breakdowns for economy, family and humanitarian class plans for the next three years. This year, forecasts for 2023, 2024 and 2025 are shown.
Under Canada's primary immigration law, the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), the government must issue this proclamation by November 1 each year. This is the second immigration level plan announced in 2022, first announced in February after the latest federal election on September 20, 2021.
Why are there two announcements this year? The plans for 2022-2024 were not announced until February 2022, rather than the normally planned November 1, 2021. After the election, parliament will not reopen until November 22, 2021, after which it will remain open for only 19 days before the holiday. In this case, IRPA requires plans to be announced within 30 days of parliament's resumption. In this case, Parliament resumes in mid-January 2022. Now that Parliament is in full swing, the government will proceed with releasing the newest Immigration Levels Plan on its regular schedule.
The current Immigration Levels Plan
Under the 2022-2024 Immigration Levels Plan, Canada aims to welcome 431,645 new permanent residents in all immigration categories in 2022.
As of 2022, Canada has welcomed more than 300,000 new permanent residents.
Most of them are from the economy class program. The economic class immigration target for 2022 is 241,850, or about 60% of the total immigration. The 2022 plan also covers 105,000 family migrants and 8,250 refugee and humanitarian categories.
All of these targets are subject to change once the new 2023-2025 Immigration Levels Plan is released and will no longer be used as a benchmark for IRCC's immigration targets.

What to expect?
Immigration Levels Plan contains new increases, and are currently at their highest levels ever. For example, less than 10 years ago the total target for 2016 was 250,000 immigrants. In 2021, IRCC broke the record for the largest number of permanent residents ever, totaling over 405,000 even during uncertainty brought by the pandemic

The minister also said he could foresee a target of up to 500,000 new permanent residents a year for the next few years, but he did not specify when.
"Look, I didn't put it in my watch," he said. "I think we're going to get there. We're adding more than 1 percent of the population through our existing pathways. That trajectory will continue. I don't know what year, it's going to depend on the needs of the community."
Based on data from IRCC, as of August 31, there are 513, 923 applications for permanent residency waiting to be processed. IRCC recently announced that it was working to improve client services and speed up processing time by hiring over 1,000 new employees, moving to a 100% digital application process, and overall making investments to modernize the aging technology that the department relies on
