Express Entry, PNPs set to drive immigration to Canada over the next 3 years

November 8, 2018

Combined admissions for Express Entry-managed programs, PNPs slated to reach 160,100 new permanent residents in 2021

Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program and the high-skilled economic immigration programs now managed by Canada’s Express Entry system are set to play increasingly vital roles in Canada’s immigration strategy over the next three years.

The combined admissions targets for these popular immigration programs are slated to reach 160,100 new permanent residents in 2021 under Canada’s new immigration levels plan released last week — an increase of 23 percent over their combined 2018 targets of 129,900.

Together, the three Federal High Skilled programs — the Federal Skilled Worker Class, Federal Skilled Trades Class, and the Canadian Experience Class — and Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) will account for 44 percent of the 1.3 million new permanent residents that Canada is planning to welcome between 2018 and 2021.
