In 2021, Canada welcomed the most immigrants in a single year, reaching its goal of 401,000 permanent residents. The majority of the new permanent residents were individuals already in Canada on a temporary status. To help with these individuals, Canada launched new programs to engage essential workers, health care professionals, international graduates and French-speaking newcomers. Immigration Practitioners, along with their team of immigration legal assistants, worked extremely hard this year to reach this goal processing more than half a million applications. Immigration Level Plans are even higher for the next two years with targets of over 411,000 new permanent residents in 2022 and 421,000 new permanent residents in 2023.? As we saw in 2021 the number of applications will far exceed that target, meaning the number of opportunities for immigration legal assistants will continue to grow for the foreseeable future.
