These two years will see an even higher target of 500,000 new immigrants annually. The plan's primary objectives are clear: drive economic growth, promote family reunification, and respond to global humanitarian crises.

Why the Focus on High Immigration Numbers? 

Canada's commitment to a high volume of immigration in the coming years can be attributed to several factors. First, it aims to address labor market needs, particularly in the face of an aging population. By welcoming a significant number of skilled workers, Canada ensures its economic growth and prosperity. 

Second, the focus on family reunification reflects the country's dedication to keeping families together, fostering stronger bonds among residents and newcomers. 

Lastly, the commitment to addressing global humanitarian crises underlines Canada's dedication to humanitarian values, providing refuge to those in need.
