(Excerpt)
McCallum said Canada will admit between 280,000 and 305,000 new permanent residents in 2016, a record increase from the 260,000 to 285,000 newcomers the previous Conservative government had planned to welcome by the end of 2015.
The Liberal plan will see Canada admit:
- 151,200 to 162,400 caregivers, provincial nominees, and other skilled workers under the economic stream.
- 75,000 to 82,000 spouses, partners, children, parents and grandparents of Canadians under the family reunification plan.
- 51,000 to 57,000 refugees, protected persons and others admitted for humanitarian reasons.
The Liberal plan also includes admitting 18,000 privately sponsored refugees, "three times more than in earlier years," McCallum said.
