In 2022, Canada received 437,120 PRs from all over the world.
This estimate reflects an approximately 8% increase over the total number of PRs arrived in 2021, according to data released by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
In accordance with the 2022-2024 Immigration Levels Plan, Canada has also surpassed its declared immigration objective for the second consecutive year, surpassing the 2022 target number (431,645) by more than 5,000 persons. In addition, last year was only the third time in Canadian history—after 1913 and 2021—that this nation welcomed more than 400,000 immigrants in a single year.
