Summary
Canada’s immigration progress through November 2025 shows a system operating at high capacity while supporting economic growth, labour market needs, and long-term settlement goals. Between January and November, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada processed over 414,000 permanent residence decisions and welcomed about 367,500 new permanent residents, reinforcing Canada’s role as a leading global destination for immigrants.

Permanent residence remains central to Canada’s immigration strategy, helping address workforce shortages and demographic challenges across sectors such as healthcare, skilled trades, technology, education, and manufacturing. Provinces continue to use federal and provincial nominee programs to attract talent aligned with regional needs.

Strong integration outcomes are reflected in the citizenship program, with more than 181,600 people granted Canadian citizenship between April and November 2025. This indicates that newcomers are settling successfully and becoming active members of Canadian society.

Temporary residence programs also play a key role. During the same period, Canada finalized approximately 557,400 study permit applications and 1.22 million work permit and extension applications. These programs support education and labour markets and often serve as pathways to permanent residence.

Overall, Canada’s steady processing volumes and intake levels demonstrate a well-managed immigration system focused on long-term economic resilience, population growth, and community development.
