Do you know Canada admitted 313,580 immigrants in 2018/2019, one of the highest levels in Canadian history? In 2015/2016, Canada received 323,192 permanent immigrants, including just about 30,000 Syrian refugees.

The number of non-permanent residents rocketed to 171,536 in 2018/2019, the most significant increase in the country’s history. While also driven by rapid growth in asylum claimants, this increase was mainly led by the rise in the number of work and study permit holders. Temporary immigration assists Canada in meeting its labour market needs.
