Immigration Minister Marc Miller says Canada is on track to meet a six per cent francophone immigration target by next year, despite nearly two decades of government efforts to meet the previous 4.4 per cent target. The new goal is to increase francophone immigration outside Quebec to six per cent in 2023, seven per cent in 2025 and eight per cent in 2026. Miller emphasizes the need to monitor progress and apologizes for any missed targets. The new targets were set after consulting with various organizations and taking into account past successes. However, with current socio-economic pressures, immigrants are often blamed for inflation and housing crises. Despite these challenges, Miller remains confident that the goals are achievable. The 2024-2026 Immigration Levels Plan proposes to welcome 1.485 million new permanent residents over three years.
