45% of new immigrants arrive in Ontario
Canada’s new record for welcoming immigrants Ontario continues to be the top destination for new entrants, welcoming 45% of the national share in 2019. Its share has increased by 2% compared to 2018. This may be the reason for the decision of the Quebec government to reduce the number of new entrants in 2019. As a result, Quebec fell two places to become the fourth top destination for newcomers to Canada in 2019. British Columbia came in second with 50,000 immigrants, followed by Alberta in third.
Manitoba was very well received by immigrants as it welcomed approximately 19,000 immigrants last year, a 24% increase compared to the number of immigrants attracted in 2018. Saskatchewan’s immigration levels were about the same as in 2018, with the province welcoming nearly 16,000 newcomers.
Immigration to Atlantic Canada continued to grow, and Nova Scotia and New Brunswick benefited the most. Nova Scotia saw a 27 percent increase to more than 7,500 immigrants, while New Brunswick welcomed 30,000 newcomers and benefited 30 percent.
The Yukon also benefited by a 24 percent increase to 400 immigrants.

35% of immigrants enter the Greater Toronto area
In Canada’s new record for welcoming immigrants, more than a third of newcomers decided to settle in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The GTA received the largest number of immigrants (118,000 newcomers) from the four provinces of Atlantic, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the three territories of Canada.
Vancouver came in second with 40,000 immigrants, followed by Ann Montreal (35,000) and Calgary (20,000).
Canada’s four largest cities (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary) welcomed a total of 62% of all new arrivals, down slightly from 64% in 2018. The decline is due to Quebec’s decision to reduce immigration levels, such as Montreal’s absorption rate, which has fallen by almost 10,000 newcomers over the past year.
Canada can accommodate 360,000 immigrants by 2020.
The federal government plans to receive 341,000 new arrivals by 2020, according to the Immigration Levels Plan for 2019 to 2021. Since this goal was achieved last year, Canada may go even further this year. In fact, the plan provides Canada with the flexibility to welcome 360,000 newcomers by 2020. We will have more transparency when Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino publishes the Federal Government’s Immigration Level Schedule for 2020 to 2022 in the near future – possibly next month.
