Canada Announces 380,000 New Permanent Residents per Year to Boost Economy

Canada has announced a new immigration framework that will award 380,000 permanent residents each year between 2027 and 2029. The policy, part of the government’s effort to stimulate economic growth, is designed to attract skilled workers and fill labour shortages across key sectors. It builds on Canada’s existing points‑based system, which evaluates applicants on factors such as education, language proficiency and work experience. Officials say the influx will support a growing population and help sustain the country’s ageing workforce.
