Canada is going to welcome a lot of new people in the next few years! They plan to accept 500,000 new permanent residents each year from 2025 to 2026. They want to do this to help the economy grow, bring families together, and help people in need.
Canada knows that immigrants are important to their economy. Immigrants help Canada do things like go green and digital, and they fill job openings. The government wants to make sure that immigrants get the help they need, like housing and healthcare, when they come to Canada.
To help the economy grow, Canada is making it easier for employers to hire workers from the Philippines. They started a program called CAN Work Philippines, which speeds up the process of getting work permits for Filipino workers. This is open to all Canadian employers who want to hire people from the Philippines, especially for jobs in healthcare, construction, and agri-food with 50 or more workers.
