Immigration Levels for 2009
Canada will stay the course on immigration in 2009, welcoming between 240,000 and 265,000 new permanent residents, as per Jason Kenney, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism.
“While countries such as the United Kingdom and Australia are talking about taking fewer immigrants, our planned numbers for 2009 are on par with last year and are among the highest for this country over the past 15 years,” Minister Kenney said. “The numbers reflect a continued commitment to an immigration program that balances Canada’s economic, humanitarian and family reunification goals.”
The 2009 plan includes up to 156,600 immigrants in the economic category; 71,000 in the family category; and 37,400 in the humanitarian category.
