U.S. Immigration Critics Ignore Canada’s Welcome Mat For Immigrants
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) emphasised Canada, which admits four times as many immigrants as a percentage of its population as the United States does, when he suggested cutting legal immigration levels in the United States in half. As evidence that a high rate of immigration relative to other countries is a key component of Canada’s immigration system, the country has declared that it will increase its annual immigration level to 500,000 by 2025.
According to a news release from Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship, “Last year Canada welcomed over 405,000 newcomers—the most we’ve ever welcomed in a single year.” The revised levels plan includes targets for 465,000 permanent residents in 2023, 485,000 in 2024, and 500,000 in 2025, sustaining the government’s ambition. This strategy strengthens Canada’s position as one of the top talent destinations in the world, laying the groundwork for long-term economic expansion while simultaneously reconnecting families with their loved ones and upholding Canada’s humanitarian obligations.
