Canada is required by law to release immigration targets for how many permanent residents it aims to welcome to the country by November 1 each year (there is an exception for election years). The latest release continues the trend of outlining the numbers of permanent residents projected over the next three years allocated according to 4 broad categories with sub-targets for each: economic, family, refugee and humanitarian.

While the Immigration Minister has been quite clear that newcomers are needed to address labour shortages, he also seems to be recognizing that public support for immigration has plummeted given many have been blaming newcomers for the housing shortage. This is unfortunate given governments have long failed to address housing issues before the more recent increases in temporary and permanent residents.
