Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has released the 2025 Annual Report to Parliament, outlining the nation’s approach to sustainable immigration management. In 2024, Canada admitted 483,640 permanent residents, marking a 2.5% increase from the previous year. The report emphasizes restoring balance to the immigration system by prioritizing economic immigrants—58.2% of all admissions—while maintaining commitments to family reunification and humanitarian protection. Minister Lena Metlege Diab highlighted the government’s plan to reduce temporary resident volumes to below 5% of the population by 2027, align immigration with community capacity, and increase Francophone admissions outside Quebec to 12% by 2029
