Several reasons suggest that Ontario and British Columbia would probably restore their permanent residence landings status this year: Along with Express Entry and the Provincial Nominee Program, family class immigration is also considered to be an option for the two, given the fact that most family class immigrants land in Ontario and British Columbia, and are excluded from Canada’s COVID-19 travel restrictions.
In order to save and improve its economy, Alberta will cut down its Immigrant intake through AINP this year.
The Atlantic provinces, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba stand a minimal chance to see their previous status recovered in 2021, since they are all too reliant on their PNP streams when compared to other provinces. Nevertheless, the huge number of international students residing in these 6 provinces, willing to turn their temporary residence to permanent, may slightly make up for their lack of new immigrants.
