40,000 Plus Immigrants Moved to Canada this January Under Various Immigration Streams

The first month of 2019, January seems to be a very promising month for the Canadian government.  With more than 40,000 plus immigrants entering Canada within January, there exists a notion that the set immigration goals for the next three years will be met without any troubles being faced.

The set target for the year 2019 is to be welcoming 331,000 new permanent residents and the economic immigration programs and the family sponsorship programs are considered to play a pivotal role in the three year’s immigration plans.

The figures are expected to increase up to 350,000 by the year 2021 which is nearly one per cent of the Canadian Population. Experts say & suggest that maintaining a one per cent immigration rate will ensure the economic and labour growth of Canada in the years to come.

It is expected that most of these targets will be met through Express Entry Programs and the provincial nominee programs. The Express Entry System is responsible for managing the country’s three most economic immigration programs namely the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program and the Canadian Experience Class Program.

The Express Entry Program had the biggest start ever since its introduction. With three Express Entry Draws held, the Canadian Government issued 11,500 invitations to candidates from the Express Entry Pool making it a major contribution for January.

Another important immigration program that plays a huge role in meeting the Canadian Government’s immigration targets is the Family Sponsorship Programs. The Canadian Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship Program which was opened on January 28^th had a target of accepting 27,000 expressions of interest which it was able to meet in a couple of minutes after opening.

The Provincial Nominee Programs are also playing a major role in meeting the Canadian Immigration targets for the year. Provinces like Manitoba, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Prince Edward Island Ontario together combined, issued approximate of 5000 invitations to candidates.

The Canadian Government is taking steady measures to make sure that the set Immigration goals are being met for the upcoming years. With the immigration targets increasing and the provinces steadily welcoming immigrants, this could be an ideal time for you to apply for Canadian Immigration.
