CTV: Canada welcomed record number of immigrants in 2022
Canada welcomed a record number of immigrants last year, hitting its target of 431,645 new permanent residents and exceeding 2021 numbers, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) said Tuesday.
In line with the government’s plans to settle more immigrants to help address labour shortages in various sectors, targets will increase every year for the next three years, according to its 2023-2025 Immigration Levels Plan, tabled Nov. 1, 2022.
The new goals are to bring in 465,000 new permanent residents this year, 485,000 in 2024, and 500,000 in 2025.

WNU Editor: I am helping a number of my Ukrainian relatives right now to immigrate to Canada. So I am very familiar on the process and what to expect.
For one. There are no great jobs there for immigrants to have. Most are low pay, minimum service jobs. When government politicians and the media say immigrants are needed to help address labour shortages, they are lying. What they want are low-wage workers.
Two: It is expensive to live here. There is a critical housing shortage right now (link here) that is forcing many immigrants to regions of Canada that is not their first, second, or even third choice. What also does not help is inflation. The unofficial rate (and the one that I believe in) is around 15%, not the give or take 7% that the politicians and media are talking about.
Third: To get ahead in Canada get ready to roll up your sleeves and work like hell at low wages for the next 5+ years. If not. Be prepared to live in poverty dependent on government assistance for the rest of your life.
