Immigration Minister Jason Kenney has been focused on restructuring Canada's immigration system, with a strong emphasis on finding immigrants likely to integrate and succeed in the Canadian workforce. (Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press) Immigration Minister Jason Kenney will announce Canada's 2013 immigration targets today, meeting reporters at 11:30 a.m. ET on Parliament Hill to outline how many people will become permanent residents next year.
Canada plans to admit 240,000 to 265,000 new permanent residents in 2013 – the same annual target range it has set for immigration since 2007.
However, Kenney is expanding the number of admissions under the Canadian Experience Class, which aims to recruit and retain international students who have studied and graduated in Canada as well as temporary foreign workers who speak one of Canada's official languages and already have Canadian work experience.
Up to 10,000 permanent residents will be accepted next year in the Canada Experience Class, up from 7,000 in 2012 and 2,500 in 2009.
Last month, Kenney's department marked its 20,000 immigrant under this class, after five years in existence. Admitting up to 10,000 in a single year represents a big jump.
The minister's annual immigration plan must be tabled in Parliament each year by Nov.1. It sets overall targets for how many newcomers will be issued visas to be admitted to Canada from abroad, as well as how many students and temporary foreign workers already in Canada will be allowed to stay.
The numbers of people accepted for permanent residency are expressed as a range under each of three categories:
- Economic immigrants.
- Family reunification immigrants.
- Protected persons (refugees).
The operational targets for the number of visas issued for new arrivals can exceed the admissions targets because not everyone issued a visa moves to Canada that same year.
