According to a report from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), Canada's admittance of permanent residents in 2022 broke all previous records.
According to a Tweet from IRCC, Canada welcomed over 437,000 new immigrants in 2016. This breaks the previous record for the number of people admitted to Canada for permanent residence in a calendar year and is greater than the target they had set of 431,645 new immigrants. When more than 405,000 new immigrants arrived in Canada that year, the previous record was set.
In 2022, the IRCC handled 5.2 million applications across all business lines. This is twice as many applications as were processed in 2021 and comprises applications for citizenship, temporary residency, and permanent residence.
The increased number of applications processed as well as the high number of admissions are attributed by IRCC to more resources, new technology, faster processing, and the introduction of more procedures online. In the Fall Economic Statement, the government also promised $50 million to the IRCC year 2022–2023 to handle the ongoing backlog of applications, which, as of November 30, 2022, totaled 1.09 million across all business lines.
