On November 1, 2023, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) released Canada’s 2024-2026 Immigration Levels Plan.

The new plan aims to welcome 485,000 newcomers in 2024 and 500,000 in 2025 and 2026. According to the new plan, the Government plans to focus on economic growth, family reunification, and humanitarian responses to immigration, also increasing French-speaking permanent residents outside Quebec to 8% by 2026.

The 2024-2026 Immigration Levels Plan will focus on filling labour gaps in sectors like health, STEM, trades, transportation, and agriculture, supporting a green, digital economy, offering protection to those in need and ensuring newcomers receive necessary support like housing and healthcare.
