Canada welcomed 483,395 new permanent residents in 2024, narrowly missing its target of 485,000. This achievement represented a significant increase from previous years and continued the country’s upward trend in immigration numbers since 2015. While India remained the largest source country with 127,320 new residents, there were notable increases from countries like Cameroon and the Philippines. The data indicates shifting settlement patterns across provinces, with Atlantic Canada seeing substantial growth. However, Canada plans to reduce its immigration targets to 395,000 for 2025 and 380,000 for 2026.
