Canada Immigrants

The Immigration Minister, Marco Mendicino made this known while unveiling what he termed an “ambitious” three-year immigration plan that set targets for bringing skilled workers(Mostly Nigerians), family members and refugees into Canada.

According to Mendicino while speaking to newsmen in Ottawa on Friday, “the Canadian government aims to accept 401,000 new permanent residents in 2021, another 411,000 in 2022 and then 421,000 in 2023″.

In his words, Canada needs more workers “and immigration is the way to get there”.

“Before the pandemic, our government’s goal to drive the economy forward through immigration was ambitious. Now it’s simply vital,” said Mendicino, while noting that immigrants drive the population and economic growth that pays for vital programs such as health care.

Canada, one of the top destinations of Nigerians, had expected to bring in 341,000 skilled workers, family members of Canadians and refugees this year.

But because of the COVID-19 crisis including closed borders and visa offices, quarantines and few available international flights, only a fraction came.

To help make up the shortfall, Mendicino said the government would offer permanent resident status to temporary foreign workers, international students, and asylum claimants already in Canada.

5 thoughts on “Nigerians To Get Permanent Visa As Canada Brings In Over 1.2m Immigrants

  1. First off I want to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I’ve had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Cheers!|
