Canada May Re-Evaluate Immigration Targets- Housing Minister Sean Fraser

Canada Housing Minister and former Immigration Minister Sean Fraser has indirectly pointed that the federal government may consider changes immigration levels targets.

“When we look to the future of immigration levels planning, we want to maintain ambition and immigration, but we want to better align our immigration policies with the absorptive capacity of communities that includes housing, that includes health care, that includes infrastructure,” Sean Fraser told Vassy Kapelos in an interview on CTV’s Questions.

Fraser also mentioned how the federal government has “some work to do” with its temporary immigration programs, which operate in an “uncapped way” based on demand.

Obviously this doesn’t mean This does not mean the number of newcomers need to be necessarily reduced however the federal government needs to give careful consideration to the immigration targets in consultation with other levels of governments and institutions that have “a duty to play part of a role in housing the people who come here.”

On Oct 10 IRCC will send 15,000 invitations to apply for parents sponsorship applications from the 2020 pool of submissions.

Due to the number of forms remaining in the pool of submissions from 2020, IRCC will send invitations to apply to randomly selected potential sponsors from that pool instead of opening a new interest to sponsor form. This is the same approach taken for the 2021 and 2022 intakes. Anyone who submitted an interest to sponsor form in 2020, but did not receive an invitation to apply in 2021 or 2022, is encouraged to check the email account they provided in 2020 when they submitted their interest to sponsor form.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will continue to reunite families by accepting up to 15,000 complete applications for sponsorship under the Parents and Grandparents Program this year. On October 10, 2023, IRCC will begin sending invitations to apply to 24,200 interested potential sponsors, aiming to receive up to 15,000 complete applications. Invitations will be sent over the course of 2 weeks.
