Canada sets its next three years of permanent residence: 380,000 a year, plus up to 200,000 extra spaces in 2027
Canada's new plan for 2027 to 2029 keeps the yearly target for new permanent residents, people allowed to settle for good, at 380,000, within a range of 352,500 to 422,000. On top of that, a one-time measure opens space in 2027 for up to 200,000 people already living in Canada to move to permanent residence, through a workers group and a humanitarian group.
