Canada to welcome 110,770 new permanent residents in 2024

One hundred and ten thousand seven hundred and seventy new Canadian permanent residents would be welcomed in 2024 via the Express Entry system.

The Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is responsible for this.

Canada has set a range of new permanent residents via Express Entry between 90,000 (lower range) and 116,000 (higher range) for the year 2024, with 110,770 being the ideal target.

IRCC is yet to unveil the first Express Entry draw for 2024, which we may see in the coming days.

Meanwhile, we have created expectations for the upcoming rounds of invitations this year.

This article delves into the analysis and anticipated outcome of draws so that our readers comprehend our projections and plan accordingly.

A Quick Look Back at Express Entry Draws in 2023
Heading into 2024, it is important to zoom out and see the bigger picture of the draws that were held in 2023 since it was the first year introducing category-based rounds of invitations.

IRCC has now replaced the term “no program specified” draw with “general” draws. So now, general draws mean that all the profiles are being considered that have been created under the Express Entry system.
