On November 1, 2023, the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Marc Miller, presented the 2024-2026 Immigration Levels Plan in Ottawa. This plan outlines Canada’s immigration objectives in response to demographic challenges and labor market needs. The plan highlights the following: Immigration Numbers: The Government of Canada has set a target to welcome 485,000 permanent residents in 2024, aiming to reach 500,000 in 2025. From 2026 onwards, the number of permanent residents will be stabilized at 500,000 annually. We note 500,000 annual immigrants is still a huge amount and that for those targets to remain, the current Liberal government must remain in power. If the Conservative party becomes the Government, annual immigration numbers can change dramatically. Temporary Residents: The government intends to review the number of temporary resident admissions over the coming year, aiming for sustainability in this segment of the immigration system. Collaboration: Canada’s government will collaborate with provinces, territories, employers, stakeholders, and Indigenous groups to address the implications of an immigration-driven population increase. The guidance for this approach comes from the report “An Immigration System for Canada’s Future.” 2024-2026 Immigration Levels Plan Main Points: By 2025, over 60% of permanent resident admissions will be allocated to the economic class, emphasizing Canada’s focus on economic growth. The plan commits to address humanitarian and geopolitical crises worldwide, aligning with Canada’s historical humanitarian efforts. Francophone immigration targets have been set to support Francophone communities outside Quebec. The plan indicates targets of 6% of total immigration in 2024, 7% in 2025, and 8% in 2026. Digital Progress: The plan acknowledges advancements made by IRCC in digital systems and client service over the past year, which has resulted in increased processing capability and a reduction in application backlogs.

Victor Hernandez Andres and his team at Borders Law Firm really impressed everyone at Siller Helicopters. We came to Andres with a very complex case for work visas, with a time-sensitive and moving window. Andres was very responsive to all forms of communication which highly contributed to completing the work visa packets in a very short window of time. Their knowledge and attention to detail are impressive and made it a pleasure to work with Andres and his team. Our crews had no issues getting their work visas approved when they arrived in Canada. In fact, the Canadian officials complimented the visa packets they presented, stating they were the most professional and organized packets they had seen in a long time. Thanks to Andres and Borders Law Firm, Siller Helicopters was able to take part in the emergency restoration of power, to towns that were affected by this year's wildfires in Canada. Thank you again Borders Law Firm.
Jehiel Cabrera If you need a Immigration Law Firm that you can trust, Borders Law Firm is for you. We retained Devika and her team to work on a misrepresentation case. We asked them to help us in a very short period of time (less than a week) but they did an impeccable, impeccable job. They were willing to work and reply to our questions early and off hours and show their dedication to help out. In 2 weeks, we were able to get our work permit. Immigration issues are scary and its easy to feel hopeless but with the right people and resources, there will be a solution. I strongly recommend Devika, she showed a lot of care, very professional, very technical and very smart. You will not regret hiring her, her work is worth it, more than priceless! Special thanks to Hillen, for going above and beyond, making sure that our response letter is accurate and flawless.
