Annual immigration report highlights IRCC’s pandemic recovery effort

The government of Canada has released its Annual Report to Parliament on Immigration for 2022.

The report summarizes the previous years’ worth of developments in Canada’s immigration sector across all lines of business.

It is released along with Canada’s Immigration Levels Plan. These official immigration targets will act as a guideline for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) over the next three years. The 2021 data shows IRCC’s efforts to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The report goes beyond the numbers and offers insights into how IRCC has progressed over the past year and how it anticipates things will continue in future, particularly now with the highest targets ever for new permanent residents per year by 2025.
