The pace of immigration to Canada<\/a> eased off for the second consecutive month in March from the record high set in January but the country is still poised to welcome vastly more new permanent residents than the target set out by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).<\/p>\n

In the first three months of this year, Canada welcomed 145,330 new permanent residents, putting the country on track to set a new record of 581,320 immigrants this year if that trend continues throughout the rest of 2023.<\/p>\n

In its\u00a02023-2025 Immigration Levels Plan<\/i>, Ottawa has planned for 465,000 new permanent residents for this year, 485,000 new permanent residents in 2024 and another 500,000 in 2025.<\/p>\n

The projected rate of immigration this year would be 25 per cent more than the IRCC\u2019s target for this year and even 16.2 per cent above the highest level of immigration set out in the current Immigration Levels Plan<\/i>, the target for 2025.<\/p>\n

By the end of March this year, Canada had welcomed 27.7 per cent more new permanent residents than in the comparable three months last year when 113,800 newcomers came here.<\/p>\n

Immigration to Canada started off strong this year right out of the gate with 50,905 new permanent residents in January, a monthly level of immigration unseen since at least 2015.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since then, the monthly influx of new permanent residents has fallen steadily. In February, Canada welcomed 2.5 per cent fewer new permanent residents, 49,645, than in January.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, in March, the rate of immigration dropped even further, to 44,780 new permanent residents, a slip of 9.8 per cent.<\/p>\n
