Key points and measures
Key points and measures of Canada’s “2024-2026 Immigration Level Plan”:
1. Continue to pay attention to the growth of economic immigrants, such as the Express Entry (EE) for skilled immigrants and the Provincial Nominee Program in each province. By 2025, economic immigrants will account for 60% of the immigrant quota.
2. Establish new francophone immigration targets to support francophone communities outside Quebec. French immigrants are targeted to account for 6% of the immigrant quota in 2024, 7% in 2025 and 8% in 2026.
3. The Immigration Department has been committed to digital transformation over the past year and has reduced the application backlog by improving processing capabilities.
In recent years, the Canadian government has actively taken measures to relax the system and attract more elites, talents, and business people to immigrate to Canada.
