Canada plans to welcome 395,000 new permanent residents in 2025
After setting ambitious immigration goals with 485,000 permanent residents targeted for 2024, Canada is recalibrating its approach for the coming year. The government has announced plans to reduce the number of new permanent residents to 395,000 in 2025. Despite this adjustment, Canada maintains its commitment to immigration through over 80 diverse programs and visas, ranging from skilled worker pathways to family sponsorship options. These programs continue to offer opportunities for individuals seeking to contribute to Canada’s multicultural society and growing economy.

Essential settlement services for a smooth transition in Canada
Newcomers in Canada can access government-funded settlement services to ease their transition into life here, such as finding housing, improving language skills, and securing employment. Despite these programs’ significant benefits, nearly one-third of immigrants are unaware of their availability. These services, funded primarily by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and sometimes by provincial or municipal governments, cater to various groups, including permanent residents and specific temporary residents. Eligibility varies, but many can utilize resources available via an online tool by IRCC that allows newcomers to locate services by postal code. By connecting immigrants with vital community resources, settlement services enhance their overall adjustment to Canadian life.
