Ranking seventh globally, it shares this position with countries like Australia and Estonia.

Canadians about immigration levels

How do Canadians feel about the immigration levels?

In 2023, Canada’s population reached 40 million, with a 2.7% growth due to immigration. Historically, Canadians have held positive views toward immigrants, with Canada ranked as the most accepting country for immigrants in 2019. Over the last few decades, Canadians’ attitudes toward immigrants and immigration have been more positive than negative. On Gallup’s Migrant Acceptance Index in 2019, Canada was ranked the most welcoming country for immigrants (out of 145 countries). People were asked if they thought it was good or bad for immigrants to live in their country, become neighbors, and marry into their families. Gallup then ranked each country on a scale from 0 to 9 and created an index based on the responses. Lower scores indicated that the nation was less accepting of migrants, and higher scores indicated that its population was more accepting of them. According to Gallup’s Migrant Acceptance Index, Canada received the highest score of any country surveyed, totaling 8.46 out of a possible 9.0 points. At 7.95, the United States came in sixth place overall. However, in 2023, a shift was observed as the government’s plan to welcome 485,000 permanent residents in 2024 and 500,000 in 2025 and 2026 was met with increased concerns about high immigration levels. Despite these concerns, there was no change in general attitudes towards immigrants. The belief that high immigration levels contribute to the housing crisis significantly drove this shift. Policymakers should monitor public attitudes towards immigration, as negative perceptions may affect the support and welcome immigrants receive. Notwithstanding the rising concerns about immigration levels, the public still feels positive about immigrants’ contributions. Canada’s immigration continues steadily towards a record-breaking 2023 In November, Canadian immigration fell by 12.4% but was still set to end the year with a record number of new permanent residents, according to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) data.  Despite the drop to 29,430 new residents in November from 33,570 in October, the total for the year was 434,360. Projections indicated 473,847 new residents by the end of 2023, 8.3% more than in 2022 and 1.9% above the target of 465,000. The 2024-2026 Immigration Levels Plan aims to welcome 485,000 new residents in 2024, 500,000 in 2025, and maintain the same level in 2026.

Ontario Alberta and British Columbia

PNP candidates in Ontario Alberta and British Columbia earn the highest income

A Statistics Canada report reveals that Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) newcomers earn more in Ontario Alberta and British Columbia, whereas lower earnings are observed in Atlantic Canada, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. The disparity is attributed to local unemployment rates and individual characteristics like education, pre-landing Canadian work experience, and language skills.  PNP candidates can earn extra money in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario after they move to Canada and live there for about two years. This suggests that initially in 2020, the three Canadian provinces saw an increase in the following earnings: $59,600 in Ontario $54,200 in Alberta $58,100 in British Columbia Find out! If you are eligible for the PNP The report also highlights that economic immigrants’ earnings vary based on their immigration program, with higher earnings for the Express Entry Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) and Canadian Experience Class (CEC) candidates since 2005 due to education, language ability, and age. The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores for FSWP and CEC candidates were higher, indicating their potential for skilled work and higher earnings. An applicant with a high CRS score may have desirable human capital qualities when they immigrate to Canada. As a result, they have a better chance than other applicants of getting a skilled job at a higher salary. Candidates in some PNP streams, such as those aimed at entry-level and semi-skilled candidates, may not need the same degree of education or work experience to immigrate. The PNP does not use the CRS for candidates who are not already Express Entry candidates. 2023 PNP Draws  After 2015, when Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) initially revealed the Express Entry application management system, significant modifications were noticed. The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) The province governments of Canada manage the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), an economic immigration route leading to permanent residence. The Immigration and Refugees Protection Act (IRPA) states that immigration is a shared responsibility of the federal and provincial governments, which makes this possible. Due to their in-demand human capital attributes, immigration candidates who best fit local labor force needs can be chosen by provincial governments thanks to the PNP. The province has nominated these individuals, strengthening the application for permanent residence when sent to the IRCC. In its yearly Immigration Levels Plan, the IRCC sets PNP immigration targets for each year. In 2024, Canada will admit 110,000 new permanent residents through the PNP and 120,000 each year in both 2025 and 2026.  Join our RSS Feed    If you want to know more details about the “PNP candidates in Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia earn the highest income“ you can contact one of our immigration specialists at  Gunness & Associates.   Tel: (416) 604-2669  Email: info@test.immigrationmatters.info   Gunness & Associates has helped thousands of people successfully immigrate to Canada with their families.

Employment rates for immigrants

In Canada, the highest Employment rates for immigrants who Landed from Africa and Asia

According to a Statistics Canada study, there are the highest Employment rates for immigrants who Landed from Africa and Asia than other regions. For immigrants over 15 years old in 2023, employment rates were:  Africa: 67.7%,  Asia: 66.3%,  Latin America: 66%,  North America: 56.6%, and  Europe: 56.6% (national average: 62.7%).  However, when looking at core-aged immigrants (25-54 years), the results inverted:  Europe: 88.3%,  Latin America: 82.8%,  North America: 82.7%,  Asia: 81.7%,  Africa: 79.8% (national average: 82.6%).  This suggests African and Asian immigrants are more likely to work outside the core age group, possibly due to cultural differences in schooling years. However, the study doesn’t include temporary workers and international students who comprise a significant part of Canada’s labor force, with 797,225 valid work permit holders in December 2022 and close to a million international students in 2023. The Employment rates for immigrants in Canada increased in 2023 Statistics Canada published a new study exploring links between the employment rate in Canada of core working-age immigrants and the duration of their stay in Canada. The data highlights that immigrants with over ten years of stay had the highest employment rates, while recent arrivals (within the last five years) had the lowest.  Specifically, employment rates were 77.8% for immigrants who landed five or fewer years ago, 81.9% for those who landed between 5 and 10 years ago, and 84.5% for those in Canada for over ten years. The overall employment rate for immigrants in 2023 was 82.6%, slightly lower than the 86.3% rate for Canadian-born individuals.
