The government released a “historic and responsible” three-year Canada Immigration Plan for 2018-2020, in November 2017. This migration is expected to continue its momentum in years to come. Over 300,000 people immigrate to this beautiful country every year.
The majority of new permanent residents are going to settle as economic immigrants, with many more is expected to arrive through programs managed under the Express Entry system. With processing times of six months or less, Express Entry has proven to be successful in bringing tens of thousands of workers to Canada, as well as helping foreign workers and graduates in Canada transition to permanent resident status.

The federal government will continue to work with the provinces in settling up to many new permanent residents through the Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) from 2018 to 2020.
Canada will also welcome spouses, common-law partners, dependent children, parents, and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents under its Family Class programs.
