Canada plans to admit one million new permanent residents between 2019 and 2021. Only a quarter of them will be admitted via Express Entry. That's right: three out of four new permanent residents are admitted through other programs, not via Express Entry. And when you also add temporary residents, less than 10% of people who earn the right to work in Canada each year are admitted through Express Entry. "It must be all family reunification and other non-economic programs, like refugees," we hear. In fact, if you remove all these programs for family reunification and refugees, Express Entry does not even make up the majority of economic immigration in Canada! And then, there are the hundreds of thousands of newcomers who continue to arrive each year with temporary status, with many opportunities to move to permanent residence later.   Annual Admissions to Canada:  

• The items in red above are temporary status programs in Canada. Figures are based on 2018 admissions.
• The dark gray items above are for permanent residence. Figures refer to targeted admissions for 2020
