Canada’s new permanent resident total under Express Entry for the first four months of 2020 is approximately 73920, with Indian citizens dominating the data figures. Of the total first 4 months of 2020, 17615 were Indian citizens followed by China, Philippines, USA, Nigeria, Pakistan, France, Iran and Brazil.
Canada has immigrant-friendly policies and offers a lifestyle as well as the USA in its major cities and provinces. With large Indian communities in Canada, it pretty is evident that more and more Indians are now choosing to move to Canada over the USA.
Canada has a long history of being one of the most open country around the globe and it stood by this title during this tough pandemic time as well. With regular invitation rounds being conducted by the federal and provincial government, continuous application acceptance and processing, and certain travel exemptions, Canada has emerged as the most welcoming and supportive country for potential global talent.
India is undoubtedly a leading source of skilled immigrants in Canada, owing to their higher educational qualifications, English language proficiency, and professional work experience. Indians qualify for Canada immigration on the basis of the above-mentioned qualities and selection criteria.
Apart from India, the following are the other top source countries whose nationals have gained Canadian PR in the first four months of 2020:
- China
- Philippines
- USA
- Nigeria
- Pakistan
- Syria
- France
- Iran
- Brazil
China was second in the list with a total of 7200 PR admissions in the first four months of 2020.
Irrespective of temporary travel restrictions that the government is slowly and steadily easing out, it would still make sense in going ahead with your Canadian PR visa application. The reason being, the Canadian immigration authority is fairly accepting and processing applications with an extended timeframe for submitting supporting documents and completing supporting services.
