As per Immigration Minister Sean Fraser, “This levels plan is a balance of needs for our country and our international obligations. It focuses on attracting skilled workers who will contribute to Canada’s economy and tackle the labor shortage while recognizing the importance of family reunification and helping the world’s most vulnerable populations through refugee resettlement. Our focus remains on supporting our economic resurgence through increased retention of newcomers in regions with real economic, labor, and demographic challenges. I’m proud of what Canada has achieved thus far, and I won't wait to see how newcomers will continue to make Canada a top destination of choice.”

In 2022, the country targeted more newcomers

In 2022, Canada plans to welcome 431,645 newcomers. This rise in target is because of the aging population and low birth rate. Hence, it is welcoming more and more candidates to support its economic growth, labor force, and population. Apart from these, it also aims to reunite families, provide humanitarian assistance, and strengthen its Francophone heritage.

Immigration is taken as an important measure because of the hard hit of the pandemic. The country believes that this measure will greatly support the country's economic growth. The country is also facing labor shortages due to the pandemic effect and Canada’s aging population.
