Canada’s Plan to 2029: 380,000 PR a Year

Canada's Plan to 2029: 380,000 PR a Year

Canada's Immigration Levels Plan for 2027–2029 (announced 5 November 2026) sets the target at 380,000 permanent residents a year.

The headline numbers: Federal High Skilled: 100,000. PNP (Provincial Nominee Program): 95,000. Temporary arrivals: 370,000.

A plan is a target, not an invitation. It tells you where Canada intends to focus — skilled workers and provincial nominees — but your own route still depends on your CRS score, your province, your occupation and your status in Canada.

One warning that matters right now: the separate 200,000-person measure for people already in Canada has no application open yet. There is no form, no intake and no eligibility list. Anyone offering you a paid spot in it today is selling something that does not exist. See our separate post on the 200,000 measure for the full detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Levels Plan guarantee me PR?

No. It sets annual targets; invitations still depend on draws, PNP selections and your profile.

Is the 200,000 measure part of the Levels Plan?

It is a separate 2027 measure for people already in Canada. It is not a new pathway and no application is open yet.
