Canada’s goal of adding 431,645 new immigrants in 2022 is on target, with 108,000 people being granted Canadian permanent residency during the first quarter of this year.

Sean Fraser, the Canadian immigration minister, announced on March 31, 2022, that over 108,000 people were approved for immigration to Canada during January, February and March of 2022.

By comparison, a record 405,000 foreign nationals were approved for Canadian permanent resident status last year, which was an additional 4,000 immigrants over the ambitious level set for 2021.
