Canadá creó 437.000 residencias permanentes en 2022
January 4, 2023 - Canadá concedió más de 437.000 permisos de residencia permanente en 2022, un nuevo récord, para combatir una aguda escasez laboral.
Canada granted a record number of foreigners permanent residency in 2022 – allowing 437,000 people to settle there – surpassing their target of 431,645.
Last year’s total is around 9% higher than the figure for 2021. Canada wants to bring in 1.45 million new permanent residents by the end of 2025 to address acute labour market shortages.
Canada lacks skilled workers, with 871,300 job vacancies as of October 2022 – down from a record high of over a million vacancies five months earlier.
