CANADA REACHES TARGET OF 431,645 NEW PERMANENT RESIDENTS IN 2022

Canada has gone through one of the fastest recoveries from the pandemic, appreciations in large part to the immigration. Canadian Government advises that the newcomers develop the communities, and contribute to their economy by working, creating jobs and supporting local businesses. Recognizing the value, the Government of Canada welcomed 431,645 new permanent residents in 2022.

Today, the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced Canada has reached that target, surpassing our previous record from 2021. This represents the largest number of immigrants ever entered Canada in a year, in Canadian history.

Prior to setting a new record for admissions in 2021, the last time Canada welcomed such a large numbers of newcomers was in 1913.

This incredible achievement would not have been possible without the employees of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), who continue to set the bar higher for processing. In 2022, IRCC processed approximately 5.2 million applications for permanent residence, temporary residence and citizenship. That’s double the number of applications processed in 2021.  

The Canadian Government plans to continue to welcome historic numbers of newcomers, IRCC has added capitals, included new technology, updated processing, and brought more processes online.

These variations are all important enhancements to Canada’s immigration system, which will place them sound for the future.

As the Government of Canada concentrates on addressing the important labour market shortages they are facing today and building a strong economy into the future, one thing remains certain: immigration is a key part of the solution.

“Today marks an important milestone for Canada, setting a new record for newcomers welcomed in a single year. It is a testament to the strength and resilience of our country and its people. Newcomers play an essential role in filling labour shortages, bringing new perspectives and talents to our communities, and enriching our society as a whole. I am excited to see what the future holds and look forward to another historic year in 2023 as we continue to welcome newcomers. – The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship advised.

  • The number of permanent residents Canada welcomes each year is based on the annual Immigration Levels Plan that is tabled in Parliament. 
  • The 2022-2024 Immigration Levels Plan was tabled on February 14, 2022 and the 2023-2025 Immigration Levels Plan was tabled on November 1, 2022.
  • Immigration accounts for almost 100% of Canada’s labour force growth. Roughly 75% of Canada’s population growth comes from immigration, mostly in the economic category.
  • By 2036, immigrants will represent up to 30% of Canada’s population, compared with 20.7% in 2011.
  • Canada’s aging population means that the worker-to-retiree ratio is expected to shift from 7 to 1 50 years ago to 2 to 1 by 2035.
  • During the 2021 Census, nearly 1 in 4 people counted were or had been a landed immigrant or permanent resident in Canada, the highest proportion since Confederation and the largest proportion among G7 countries.
  • Just over 1.3 million new immigrants settled permanently in Canada from 2016 to 2021, the highest number of recent immigrants recorded in a Canadian census.
  • Immigrants account for 36% of physicians, 33% business owners with paid staff, and 41% of engineers. 
  • In the Fall Economic Statement, the government committed an additional $50 million in 2022-23 for IRCC, to address ongoing application backlogs, speed up processing, and allow skilled newcomers to fill critical labour gaps faster.
