Canada Election 2019:
What to expect from the immigration system in the coming years.
Rising immigration levels, free citizenship and a Municipal Nominee Program will be on the table.
The Liberals’ minority victory in the October 21 federal election means Canada’s immigration system will likely remain stable as long as they are able to maintain the confidence of Parliament.
Immigration Levels:
370,000 immigrants by
2023?
Immigration levels are poised to rise even further under a Liberal minority government.
Under their current plan, the target will increase from 330,800 in 2019 to 350,000 by 2021, and their election platform l suggested this pattern would continue if they attained a new mandate.
Given the incremental approach employed by the Liberals in recent years, we can expect immigration targets to increase by an additional 10,000 newcomers or so each year beyond 2021, which means that Canada could aim for approximately 370,000 immigrants by 2023.
Pilot Programs: All eyes on the Municipal Nominee Program.
In their first term, the Liberals launched several economic class immigration pilot programs. The most notable among these was the Atlantic Immigration Pilot (AIP), which the Liberals pledged would become permanent if they earned another mandate.
All eyes will now turn to the Municipal Nominee Program (MNP), which the Liberals pledged to help smaller cities across Canada attract more
immigrants.
