Immigration Levels Plan

Each year by November 1, we table the Immigration Levels Plan, a forward-looking snapshot of immigration targets for the next 3 years. In setting this immigration plan, we consider

• the country’s economic needs
• our family reunification and humanitarian goals
• balancing these needs and goals with our ability to settle newcomers
