And businesses are facing the largest labour crunch on record, with an all-time high of one million job vacancies recorded in March.<br \/>\n\u201cCanadians understand the need to continue to grow our population if we\u2019re going to meet the needs of the labour force,\u201d Fraser commented.<br \/>\nLast year, Canada welcomed over 405,000 immigrants, the most ever in a single year. This year, said Fraser, the government hopes to double its intake from 2014 levels to 431,000.<br \/>\nIt has also revised upward its targets for next year to 465,000, 485,000 in 2024 and 500,000 in 2025. This is up from a total of 1.3 million new immigrants settled in Canada from 2016 to 2021.<br \/>\nBy 2025, the goal is for more than 60 percent of the total admissions are to be economic migrants, Fraser said. Canada also aims to reunite more families with members abroad faster, but take in slightly fewer refugees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OTTAWA Canada will speed up its immigration targets, hoping to welcome a record number of newcomers in order to address a worker shortage in the country, Immigration Minister Sean Fraser announced on Tuesday. \u201cCanada needs more people,\u201d Fraser told a news conference.
