Sean Fraser’s RNIP announcement to boost Canada regional immigration

Canada sets its plan to invite the highest-ever number of foreign immigrants.

Canada has recently set its Immigration levels to plan 2023-2025 aiming to invite 500,000 new PRs to Canada by 2025 end. The goal of asking for more significant numbers is because the country has to fill in the gaps in the workforce market urgently.

Nearly 9M Canadians will be reaching their retirement age by 2030, and there is no ample number of young Canadians to take up these vacant jobs.

• Extensions added to the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP) program and Economic Mobility Pilot (EMP) Program.
