Each year Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issues an Immigration Level Plan that serves as a guideline for how many immigrants will be allowed into Canada each year. This includes the breakdown of immigrants by economic class, family class and humanitarian class programs over the next three years. This year it will show projections for 2023, 2024 and 2025.
The government must make this announcement by November 1 of each year in accordance with the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), Canada’s main immigration law. It is the second immigration leveling plan announced in 2023, the first in February after the most recent federal election on September 20, 2021.
