Canada welcomed nearly 25,000 immigrants in January 2021— most since last February.
Canada is already on track to achieve its ambitious 401,000 immigration target this year.
Canada’s immigration levels are starting to recover.
New Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) data show that the country welcomed about 24,665 new permanent residents in January 2021. This is comparable to Canada’s monthly intake prior to the pandemic. In fact, it is the strongest month for Canadian immigration since February 2020.
Prior to the pandemic, Canada welcomed between 25,000 and 35,000 new immigrants per month.
Only 184,370 new immigrants came to Canada in 2020, falling way short of IRCC’s goal of 341,000. This was the weakest year for Canadian immigration since 1998. To make up for the shortage, Canada’s immigration minister, Marco Mendicino, announced that Canada would welcome 401,000 new permanent residents in 2021. Should Canada achieve this goal, it will be tied for the highest level of immigration in the country’s history— the current record stands at 401,000 immigrant arrivals in 1913.
