Canada s immigration minister, Marco Mendicino, announced new ambitious immigration targets for the next three years. The plan is to welcome over 400,000 newcomers in 2021 - 2023 to bolster economic recovery in the country. This means that 1.23 million new immigrants will call Canada home by 2023. The great news came as a beacon of light during a dark time for hundreds of thousands of hopefuls looking for better opportunities abroad.
However, with the border still closed for most travelers and visitors, it is a confusing time for potential applicants who want to secure their spots in Canada but are left wondering: What are the COVID-19 effects on Canadian immigration in 2021? Well, the good news is that the evidence is strongly suggesting that things are returning back to normal, and potential applicants should not shy away from pursuing new lives in the Great White North.
