Quebec’s Immigration Plan for 2021 was presented to the public
Quebec wants to welcome 44,500 to 47,500 new immigrants in 2021. These numbers are slightly higher than the 2020 target of 44,500 immigrants. It is expected that in 2021 the majority of newcomers – 62% – will come as part of economic immigration programs. It is worth emphasizing that Quebec only controls the number of refugees and economic immigrants – skilled workers and business immigrants – who wish to relocate to the French-speaking province. The number of Family Class immigrants is under federal jurisdiction. Immigration targets of Quebec for 2021 are:
- Skilled workers: from 19,400 to 22,400
- Business immigrants: from 1500 to 2300
- Other economic immigrants: 400 to 600
- Refugees: 4400 to 4700
- Other immigrants: 800 to 1200
