At the same time, Canada is placing a stronger emphasis on economic immigration, labour market needs and attracting people with skills and experience that support Canada's economy.
๐ Students: The target for new international student arrivals is 155,000 in 2026.
๐ท Workers: The target for new temporary workers is 230,000 in 2026.
๐จ๐ฆ Permanent residence: The overall target remains 380,000 admissions annually from 2026โ2028.
