2025–2027 Immigration Levels Plan include the following:
- Transitioning more temporary residents who are already in Canada as students and workers to permanent residents
Representing more than 40% of overall permanent resident admissions in 2025, these residents are skilled, educated and integrated into Canadian society.
- Focusing on long-term economic growth and key labour market sectors, such as health and trades
Permanent resident admissions in the economic class will reach 61.7% of total admissions by 2027
- Strengthening Francophone communities outside Quebec and supporting their economic prosperity
Of the overall permanent resident admission targets, Francophone immigration will represent
-
- 8.5% in 2025
- 9.5% in 2026
- 10% in 2027
Through this plan, we are using our existing programs so that everyone—including newcomers—has access to the well-paying jobs, affordable homes and social services they need to thrive in our beautiful country.
