Canada Immigration In Demand: 2012 Immigration Statistics

02 Mar 2013

Canada Federal government has published 2012 immigration statistics which reported that Canada continued its highest sustained level of immigration.

2012 saw 257,515 immigrants entering Canada. On a per-capita basis, it makes Canada one of the best immigrant friendly countries in the world.

"Notable exceptions is the Super Visa Program for Parents and Grandparents which are temporary not permanent visas,"

"So a deeper look at the data reveals that the Feds are not keeping up with the demand. The Provinces should be given the 'golden star' this time around."

“All of the major increases in the [Provincial Nominee] program have occurred under the current federal government and the current Minister of Immigration (who became Minister in 2008),"

"It has more than doubled since 2008.  So it is clear that it is precisely the federal government who should be taking credit for the increase."

1. Family Class:       64,901
