The present condition of Canada’s immigration
Immigration to Canada is increasing on an annual basis. Through its Immigration Levels Plan (2023–2025), Canada hopes to accept 500,000 permanent residents year by 2025.
The majority will enter through economic class programs like Express Entry, which is the primary government channel for immigration and includes the government Skilled Workers Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
Despite Express Entry’s importance, the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) has recently overtaken it as the main immigration route into Canada. With the exception of Quebec and Nunavut, this initiative empowers provinces and territories to extend invitations for permanent residency to individuals who can fill regional labor shortages.
With the exception of Quebec and Nunavut, all 11 of the provinces and territories run PNPs.
