Immigration to Canada decreased in August, yet the country is still projected to surpass its goal for the year. By late August, Canada had accepted 309,240 new permanent residents – an average of 38,655 per month, which puts the nation on track to welcome 463,860 by December 31. Suppose the current trend continues, even with the slowdown in immigration in August. In that case, when 32,215 new permanent residents have been admitted, Canada will still beat its immigration target of 431,645 permanent residents for 2022.
