- PR immigrants within the last five years: The unemployment rate fell to 7.8 per cent among immigrants, compared to 8.3 per cent in April.
- Immigrants who gained PR between 5 to 10 years ago: fell to 5.8 per cent compared to 6.3 per cent in March.

Best Period to Plan Your Immigration to Canada
Amid pandemic disruption to international mobility, immigration to Canada kept unemployment rates low by increasingly converting the status of temporary residents located in Canada to permanent residents.
With increased economic activity in Canada on the rise, eligible skilled workers will now be targeted to fulfil the increased job vacancies in Canada and qualify for permanent residency.
About 1 million new immigrants will be nominated for Canada PR under various economic-class programs including the Express Entry system and Provincial Nominee Programs over the next three years.
Thousands of foreign skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and international students will benefit from these immigration-friendly measures.
