The Immigration Levels Plan is Canada’s three-year plan to raise the selection of PR applicants. As per the same, each year on Nov 1, during the non-election season, the Immigration Minister is mandated to release the new plan. In the plan, targets are set as per the labour market needs and economic demands of the country.
