Analysis of the three-year migration plan from 2024 to 2026 – Hossam Kazemi Migration Organization

This year, the Canadian Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Agency (IRCC) presented its three-year program for attracting immigrants from 2024 to 2026. This program defines the path of Canadian immigration and government programs. The three-year plan or Immigration Levels Plan specifies the main focus of the Canadian government in attracting immigrants in the coming years.

In the new announced program, the Canadian Immigration Agency has not changed the number of annual admissions compared to the previous program. But according to the new approach of the Canadian government, a part of the annual admission of immigrants outside Quebec will be allocated to applicants with knowledge of the French language. Accordingly, in 2024, about 6%, in 2025, about 7%, and in 2026, about 8% of immigrants will be in this group.

According to the new announcement program, in the so-called High Skilled programs, we see an increase in the number of permanent resident admissions compared to the previous announcement program.

Also, in the new announced program, the Immigration Organization has announced the number of permanent resident admissions in startup visa and self-employment programs for artists and athletes unchanged. Based on this, 5,000 people will be accepted in these programs in 2024, and this number will reach 6,000 people in 2025 and 2026.

In the new announced program, the Immigration Organization has reduced the number of admissions in temporary programs as well as the northern cities program in 2024 and has considered it unchanged in 2025.

But the biggest change in immigration programs is related to the Atlantic program. The immigration organization has significantly reduced the number of admissions in this program. The main reason for this is that the provincial programs of the provinces of the Atlantic basin are growing separately.

Also, in the new program, the number of admissions in provincial programs remains constant for 2024, but will increase in 2025.

According to the announced program of the Immigration Organization and the very significant contribution given to the French language, obviously one of the ways to obtain a permanent residence in Canada is to obtain a CLB7 score in the French language. (See this link to see French language scores)

Also, startup visa and self-employment programs (according to the general conditions of these programs) have a good contribution in granting permanent residence.

Provincial programs have always been an important part of programs for obtaining permanent residence. The provinces of British Columbia, Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Nova Scotia have very active and good permanent residency programs.

But our usual advice to you immigration applicants is to evaluate your conditions before doing anything so that you can determine the best immigration path for you and your family. Planning for immigration is an important issue that cannot be ignored. A small mistake may waste years of hard work.
