“Canada admitted 92,231 new permanent entry residents through its express entry system in 2018, of which Indians grabbed the lion’s share at 43 per cent. In 2017, 26,300 odd Indian citizens had made the cut.”

“Planning to migrate to Canada? Given the hard-line anti-immigration stance of the Trump administration in the US, Indians are increasingly looking at Canada for work and settlement opportunities. In fact, in 2018, over 39,600 Indian citizens obtained permanent residency in Canada under the Express Entry Route, a point-based selection system for Canadian immigration, The Times of India reported. That’s a jump of over 50 per cent from the 26,300 odd Indian citizens who were awarded permanent residency in 2017.”

“According to the daily, Canada admitted 92,231 new permanent entry residents through its express entry system in 2018, up 41 per cent year-on-year. Of them, Indians grabbed the lion’s share at 43 per cent, followed by Nigeria (6,653 people admitted) and China (5,885). Permanent residency is akin to the green card in the US. In 2017, Canada had reportedly admitted nearly 65,500 permanent residents, of which 40% were Indians, less than 9 per cent were Chinese and 4.3 per cent were Nigerians.”

“Express entry draws are held periodically. The latest round was on June 21, which will see 3,350 candidates being invited to take up permanent residency. According to the Canadian government, immigrants account for 75 per cent of the nation’s population and about six in 10 applicants are selected for their “positive economic impact”. The country has rolled out an ambitious three-year plan that hopes to scale up immigration levels from 3.30 lakh in 2019 to 3.50 lakh in 2021. This could be your chance to join the party.”
