Coronavirus vaccine in Canada and the future of immigration
Though Canada was successful in flattening the coronavirus curve during the summer, the country again witnessed a spike in the number of cases later, which led to a fresh wave of lockdowns. The country has witnessed more than 430000 coronavirus cases and some 13000 deaths.
However, the immigration system of Canada has been remaining active despite the crisis. Now the country is looking forward to the immigration system returning to normalcy following the pandemic. In the Express Entry draw held on December 9, Canada invited 5000 candidates to apply for permanent residence in Canada. Canada has already issued more than 100,000 Express Entry invitations so far this year, for the first time in the history of Express Entry. As per the country’s Immigration Levels Plan for 2021-2023, the country will be welcoming more than 400,000 immigrants each year, with an aim to compensate for the lower level of immigrant arrivals this year, owing to the pandemic.
Canada is gearing up to tackle the COVID-19 crisis and the immigration system will soon return to normalcy. If you wish to immigrate to Canada, start the preparations right away. Contact CanApprove for more information.
