The government of Canada has stated that because there is a shortage of workers in the country, it has drafted a plan to increase the level of immigration from 2023 to 2025 in order to recruit 1.45 million people from Nigeria and other countries all over the world to work in various sectors of the Canadian economy by the year 2025.

This information was made public by Canada on Tuesday, when it published its 2023–2025 Immigration Levels Plan notice. It was mentioned there that the immigrants will be welcomed as permanent residents to work in companies and government sectors across the country.

The Federal High Skilled Department, which oversees the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class, as well as federal businesses, economic pilots, and caregivers, is one of the primary areas concentrating on the employment of migrants.

In a statement, Canada's Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship, Sean Fraser, noted that the strategy will attract the talents that are necessary in critical industries in the nation such as manufacturing, technology, and health care, amongst others.

According to the statement, "Last year Canada welcomed more than 405,000 newcomers; this is the most we've ever welcomed in a single year." This goal is being pursued by the government, which has included a target of 465 000 permanent inhabitants in the new levels plan for the year 2023, 485 000 for the year 2024, and 500,000 for the year 2025.

"An enhanced focus on luring immigrants to diverse parts of the country, particularly small towns and rural settlements, is included in the strategy,"

"Last year, we received the most newcomers in a single year in our history," the minister continued. The plan for immigration levels for this year will help companies locate the employees they need, put Canada on a path that will contribute to our long-term success, and allow us to make good on crucial pledges to vulnerable individuals who are escaping violence, conflict, and persecution.

Along the same lines, Sean Strickland, the Executive Director of Canada's Building Trades Union, stated that "Canada's Building Trades Unions are thrilled with today's announcement to enhance immigration levels in Canada." Through the course of our nation's history, immigration has been the primary means by which we have been able to increase the size of our workforce, populate our union halls, and construct Canada's physical infrastructure.

"Increased economic immigration is an important step to addressing labor availability across the country, and we look forward to continuing to work closely with Minister Fraser and the federal government to find the solutions we need going forward."

It is believed that Nigerians will be among the top beneficiaries of Canada's migrant plan. This is due to the fact that Canada is one of the top preferred countries for Nigerians, particularly the younger generation.

Since the #EndSARS protest in 2020, a sizeable number of Nigerian youths have immigrated to Canada in search of education and skilled labor. Considering the high rate of unemployment in Nigeria, more Nigerians are likely to leave the country in order to take advantage of the opportunities offered by Canada.
