Canada has long been a popular destination for people from around the world looking to start a new life. According to data released by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on February 2023, approximately 46% of newcomers settling in Canada in 2022 were from Asia. Around 118,095 Indians landed as permanent residents (PRs) in 2022.
This growth has led to a large number of highly skilled workers seeking opportunities abroad, and Canada has become an attractive option thanks to its strong economy, stable political climate, and high standard of living.
Another factor contributing to the arrival of Indian immigrants to Canada is the country’s welcoming immigration policies. Canada is known for its progressive immigration policies, which prioritize family reunification, skilled workers, and refugees. The country also offers a variety of immigration programs, such as the Express Entry program, which allows skilled workers to apply for permanent residency in Canada.
Here is the list of source countries for newcomers to Canada in 2022:
Country Total immigrants for 2022 % age of immigrants in 2022 India 118,095 27% China 31,815 7.2% Afghanistan 23,735 5.4% Nigeria 22,085 5.05% Philippines 22,070 5.04% France 14,145 3.2% Pakistan 11,585 2.6% Iran 11,105 2.5% United States of America 10,400 2.3% Syria 8,500 1.9%
Indian immigrants are highly skilled and educated, and they contribute to Canada’s economy by filling key positions in industries such as technology, healthcare, and finance. They also bring with them their rich cultural heritage, which adds to the diversity of Canadian society.
Below is the List of Destination Province for Permanent Residents for the year 2022:
Province Permanent Residents in 2022 % of all PRs in 2022 Ontario 184,725 42.2% Quebec 68,685 15.7% British Columbia 61,215 14% Alberta 49,460 11.3% Manitoba 21,645 4.9% Saskatchewan 21,635 4.9% Nova Scotia 12,650 2.8% New Brunswick 10,205 2.3% Newfoundland and Labrador 3,490 0.7% Prince Edward Island 2,665 0.6% Yukon 455 0.1% Northwest Territories 235 0.0% Nunavut 45 0.0% Province not stated 20 0.0%
In conclusion, India continues to be a top source of newcomers to Canada, with a combination of economic, policy, cultural, and social factors. This trend is likely to continue in the years to come, and both countries stand to benefit from the continued flow of talented and diverse individuals across their borders.
