The latest numbers for Permanent Residency in 2024 is a record itself. With more than 483000 new permanent residents, Canada has become one of the most preferable countries for Indian immigrants.
The new data of yearly permanent residents reveals that Canada is truly offering immigrants a comfortable lifestyle and opportunities for the future. Moreover, it clearly shows how Canada is serious about their immigration planning and is executing the right procedure for reaching their highest numbers.
But to be true, it’s not just about 2024 or 2023. Canada has been doing the same since the year 2015. Though Covid-19 was a disaster for this program, Canada soon recovered their numbers.
See the data below.
| YEAR | Permanent Residency Admitted | Official Permanent Resident Targeted |
| 2024 | 483,395 | 485000 |
| 2023 | 471,820 | 465,000 |

| 2021 | 406,055 | 401,000 |
| 2020 | 184,600 | 341,000 |
This data clearly indicates trends from the Canadian Government about permanent residency, precise planning and careful execution. Notably, we can see a huge rise in the number of permanent residents from 2020 to 2021. It directly shows recovery from Pandemic’s hit.
