Canada Plans Up to 622,000 New Permanent Residents by 2027 Including Transition Program
Canada plans to welcome up to 622,000 new permanent residents by the end of 2027, combining regular immigration targets with a one-time transition programme for 200,000 temporary residents already in the country. Half of these transition places are reserved for skilled workers through Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Programmes, while the other half address humanitarian cases. Annual immigration targets for 2027 to 2029 remain stable at 380,000 permanent residents and 370,000 temporary residents, with a focus on economic immigration to support labour market needs.
