Do you know?
21% of the Canadian population is an immigrant. That is to say, 1 out of every 5 people in is an immigrant.
From 2011 to 2016 alone, Canada accepted 1.21 million new immigrants.
Before the outbreak, Canada set a goal of receiving 341,000 new immigrants in 2020. However, due to the impact of the epidemic, only half of the goal was achieved that year.
In order to support the economic recovery after the epidemic, Canada has increased its efforts to accept new immigrants and once again set a goal of accepting 401,000 new immigrants in 2021.
In September this year, we estimated that the Canadian Immigration Service would have to accept more than 45,000 new immigrants in the next three months to achieve this goal. Then in November, the Canadian Immigration Service accepted 47,000 new immigrants, breaking the highest record in the previous 10 months!
On December 23, local time, the Canadian Immigration Service stated in a press release: Canada will land 401,000 new immigrants in 2021, breaking Canada’s new immigration record in history!

Does this mean that the east wind for immigration to Canada is really coming? How will the immigration trend of Canada change in the future?
Canada's Million Immigration Plan
In order to restore the Canadian economy after the epidemic, Canada proposed the Million Immigration Plan in 2020. It will receive 401,000 new immigrants in 2021, 411,000 and 421,000 new immigrants in 2022 and 2023 respectively. migrant.
The completion of the 2021 goal allows us to see the hope of completing the immigration quota in 2022 and 2023. In other words, in the next two years, Canada will still strongly welcome new immigrants to join, which is also a good thing for immigrant applicants to enter Canada. Chance!
The Minister of Immigration will announce a new immigration level plan before February 10, 2022, and said that the new plan may require higher immigration quota targets, let us wait and see!
Priorities
Last week, Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau finally released the "2022 Canadian Immigration Minister's Mandate Letter" , which outlines many immigration-related priorities. I wrote an article before, which details The priorities are stated. Interested friends can click on the link to view:

Among these priorities, Xiao E feels that the most important is this one: hopes to create more pathways to permanent residence for international graduates and temporary foreign workers through the Express Entry system.
I don’t know what you think of when you see this article? What Xiao E is thinking of is the immigration amnesty in March and the new TR to PR policy ! During the immigration amnesty in February alone, 27332 invitation letters were issued!
Guess, in order to achieve the immigration quota target and convert more temporary residents in Canada in 2022, will the Canadian Immigration Service launch such a powerful new policy?

In addition to noting the need to speed up the review and approval of immigration applications among its priorities, Canada has also pledged to spend 85 million Canadian dollars to address the backlog of immigration applications, reduce the processing time of immigration applications, and called for the replacement of citizenship and immigration applications.

Reducing the processing time of immigration applications means that immigrant applicants can enter Canada as permanent residents in a shorter time. It also means that Canada can process more immigration applications and receive more immigration applications in one year in 2022. of immigration.
There is another overlooked but very important thing, that is: Canada’s resumption of CEC and FSW lottery is just around the corner!
We look forward to the day when Canadian Citizenship and Immigration Services has processed half of the backlog of immigration applications.
Ways to immigrate to Canada
Due to the suspension of FSW and CEC, the current way for immigrant applicants to immigrate to Canada is mainly through the provincial nomination project . Each province in Canada has provincial nomination projects, covering foreign workers, skilled workers, international students, entrepreneurs and other groups.
Moreover, in addition to the provincial nomination programs in each province, there are also some immigration pilot programs , such as the popular Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program.
The Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program will become a permanent project after January 1, 2022. This project has a low threshold and is one of the projects suitable for many domestic applicants.
There are many immigration projects available for immigrant applicants to get PR, but the most important thing is to suit them.
