Canada immigration has to level up its newcomer intake, says Sean Fraser

Canada’s ambitions for Canada immigration are only increasing by the day! The Immigration Minister of Canada, Sean Fraser, has put forward the reason for the need to increase the levels of immigrant intake in Canada. He finds it necessary to increase Canada immigration levels because that’s the only way to fill up the increasing gaps in the Canada labor market.

Canada is facing a critical scarcity of skilled professionals currently. The country is looking to rebound into the pre-pandemic state. This will be possible with the contribution of skilled immigrants who work in Canada. Sean Fraser is anticipating that the only way for Canada immigration intake is to go up. Only that way Canada can stand its ground and go ahead with economic development.

In October 2021, 46,315 new Canada PR visa holders have arrived in Canada. In fact, most of the new permanent residents of Canada have transitioned from temporary residents during the COVID-19 pandemic. This happened due to the IRCC policy to conduct immigration draws inviting only those potential candidates studying/working in Canada on a temporary visa. This kept Canada immigration on track throughout the pandemic. It served well in the attempts to achieve the 401,000 newcomers target for 2021.

Canada has welcomed 313,838 newcomers in the period between January 2021 and October 2021. With hardly 2 months left to meet its immigration level target for 2021, Canada will have to increase immigrant intake, as Sean Fraser has stated.

There’s a lot of effort put into speeding up the processing of visa applications. From what's apparent in the way Canada immigration operations are going, there’s definitely hope that all those waiting to move to Canada and the families ready to start a new life in Canada will find success sooner.
