The Liberal government of Canada plans on welcoming up to 305,000 new permanent residents this year — the highest projected immigration level in decades, and around a seven percent increase on the 2015 plan.
The government provided details in its 2016 Immigration Levels Plan, which was published on Tuesday, March 8. The increase in immigration numbers will be primarily through family sponsorship and refugee settlement programs, though more than half of all newcomers will arrive through economic immigration programs. The target mark of 160,600 people in economic programs is in line with admissions through those programs over recent years, even if the target itself is slightly lower than last year.
The numbers of refugees to be accepted in 2016 will be around double the number that was targeted for 2015. Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship (IRCC, formerly known as CIC), John McCallum, has stated that his department aims to speed up processing times for family class immigration, economic immigrants and refugee claimants by applying the lessons it learned from bringing 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada over recent months.
Growing the country
The 2016 plan marks an increase of about 20,000 in the total number of new permanent residents to be admitted, relative to 2015. Indeed, the 2015 plan also saw an increase of 20,000 over the previous year. Consequently, the 2016 target is about 40,000 higher than that for 2014.
Minister McCallum said the plan is grounded in Canada’s tradition of being a welcoming and generous country. “We will be able to welcome more people to Canada,” he said at a news conference in Brampton, Ontario.
“It [the plan] outlines a significant shift in immigration policy towards reuniting more families, building our economy and upholding Canada’s humanitarian traditions to resettle refugees and offer protection to those in need.”
The plan calls for between 280,000 and 305,000 permanent residents to be allowed into Canada in 2016. Calling it the country’s highest targeted number of new immigrants in modern times, McCallum said the government’s goal is to “bring in immigrants who wish to build a better Canada.”
The plan is supposed to be tabled each November for the following year, but the one for 2016 was delayed by the general election and change of government around that time last year.
Breaking down the numbers
Immigrants to Canada arrive through one of three broad categories: Economic, Family Class, and Refugee and Humanitarian.

Economic immigration to Canada
Economic immigration supports Canada’s long-term economic growth while improving global competitiveness and strengthening communities across the country. Experienced professionals, tradespersons, businesspersons, and caregivers make up the bulk of all new immigrants to Canada. In making the decision to develop their careers in Canada, these newcomers help to create jobs and growth in new and existing industries.
Canada is seeking to attract workers who will succeed in the Canadian labour market and integrate smoothly into Canadian society. Economic immigration, which is based on an individual’s skills and experience, presents an opportunity for foreign workers and their families to come to Canada through a variety of programs. Of the immigrants to be selected for permanent residence in Canada in 2016, between 151,200 and 162,400 are expected to be economic immigrants.

Reuniting more families in Canada
Immigration Minister John McCallum stated that a “significant shift” in the federal government’s immigration policy was aimed at reuniting more families in Canada.
The government says it will increase admissions for sponsored spouses, partners and dependents, and help reduce application processing times by allocating additional resources and improving methods used within the department. Under the Family Class programs, the government aims to welcome 60,000 sponsored spouses, partners and children, as well as 20,000 parents and grandparents, by the end of the year.
McCallum said that family reunification backlogs will be reduced as more individuals are admitted to the country. IRCC is doubling the number of sponsorship applications for parents and grandparents that it will accept for processing to 10,000 a year. A total of 20,000 admissions are planned under the Parent and Grandparent Program, and by the end of 2016 it is expected that the backlog inventory will be reduced by approximately 15 percent.

Canada, a safe haven
In the short time the Liberal government has been in office, its signature move on the immigration file has been with respect to the increased and expedited settlement of refugees, particularly those fleeing the war in Syria. Though the government recently met its target to welcome 25,000 such persons by the end of February, 2016, it plans on welcoming additional numbers of refugees over the course of the year.
Minister McCallum has urged Canadians to welcome the new refugees with “open arms” and help them find homes, jobs and adjust to their new lives in Canada. By and large, the Canadian public has received the refugees positively.
The refugee settlement program is divided into those who arrive with government assistance and those who are sponsored privately, as well as a smaller number who arrive via a program that blends the two. Further, protected persons already in Canada and their families abroad, as well as individuals applying for permanent residence on humanitarian and compassionate grounds, come under this broad category.

A renewed focus for growth
“After a decade of immigration plans that were becoming increasingly focused on short-term labour market outcomes, it is refreshing to see a new government think more long term, with a vision to grow the country in a sustainable and harmonious fashion. While all stakeholders might prefer a slight change here or there, broadly speaking this is an immigration levels plan that promotes diversity and growth,” says Attorney David Cohen.
“I am especially pleased to see an increased focus on family reunification, an area that has required extra attention for some time. And while the economic targets are marginally lower than last year — particularly for the programs conducted through Express Entry — candidates through these programs should take heart that the inventory of applications that existed prior to 2015 has been reduced over the course of the past year. This should allow the government to process a large number of applications made through Express Entry, while also bringing those individuals to Canada more quickly.”

I’m hoping that they will abolish the 4years In / 4years out law. Witch is the foreign worker is allowed only to work in Canada for short periods of time of 4year. All the processing now are shorten and only skilled worker can apply for express entry. I’m losing hope now because I’m going back home this April . Have to start all over again with very little savings . But still I love Canada because I meet a lot of wonderful people that I said to them can communicate to me using a lot of resources . Hope I can comeback here after 4 years.

I will be highly obliged if you guide me to my point.I am extremely worried about it.I have applied for further studies in Canada in 2012 twice and for both the times my visa is refused though I’m meeting all the requirements.Now I’v completed my degree in Computer Science Engineering(CSE),and I’m thinking this time also to apply for my PG course.What I want is that can you tell me that should I apply or not?What happens if I apply this time meeting all the requirements and again I get a refusal which hurts a lot.My parents are against me this time as they are not in accordance with my decision of studying abroad because at one point they are also worried about the decision of the officer.But I’m denying them as it is my dream to study there.Kindly pay attention to my words.Hope you will understand.
Thank you..

I think immigrants are often the most entreprising members of society partly because anyone brave enough to make an oversea move is likely to be a risk taker.
CANADA is an outstading country and i love it too much.

I’m RAHEEM MUSILIU OJO from NIGERIA and qualified in
mechanical and civil engineering. I forecast to
immigrate to CANADA and to participate to the
strong economic growth with GOD’s help.
I think immigrants are often the most
enterprising members of society partly because
anyone brave enough to make an oversea move
is likely to be a risk taker.
CANADA is an outstanding country and i love it
too much.

Linda and Lee Strom says
Senior and child care is abysmal in B.C., yet you persist in bringing in 20,000 grandparents! Where is your common sense? ESL bankrupted our education system, kids are hungry and without proper clothing. Grandparents will further strain/drain our pathetic Health Care system.
Your thoughtless placement (lower mainland) without improving wait times, availability of family GP’s indicates contempt for already over-burdened citizens. Do you not have the foresight to see how and why racism, prejudice and intolerance starts? You are foolish to think the ordinary person will accept this insanity during hard times.
Why not bring in Youngish people with some understanding of English/French?
PS we have ceased Food Bank donations as belt tightening measure!

I would believe this but as it turns out they love looking at your juvinille record and holding it against you even though it has no bearing on the person you have become or if you did your time so watch it anyone if you are going to go there if you did anything before you became of age meaning anything before 18 you are not getting in
