Canada’s 2027–2029 immigration plan keeps annual permanent admissions target at 380,000
Published by BriefDash · · Toronto
IRCC’s immigration plan, published November 5, sets annual targets of 380,000 permanent resident admissions and 370,000 new temporary resident arrivals for 2027–2029. The temporary target comprises 220,000 workers and 150,000 students, excluding visitors, extensions, in-Canada applications and asylum claimants. Permanent admissions also include people already in Canada; the targets for 2028 and 2029 remain provisional and can be adjusted.
Why it matters
The plan sets the scale of planned admissions while distinguishing new arrivals from changes of status within Canada.
