What drives more Indians to immigrate to Canada?

Over 405,000 immigrants are expected to arrive in Canada in 2021, an all-time high. Almost one-third of these newcomers are of Indian origin. Besides that, nearly 450 000 foreign students came to Canada last year, with close to 50% of them being Indian. Over 10,000 Indians moved to Canada through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, and 130,000 received work permits through the International Mobility Program.

India is by far the largest source of international talent for Canada.

A combination of international and domestic Canadian factors can explain the high rates of new immigrant arrivals from India. Globally, India has a rising middle class with the education, language proficiency, work experience, and settlement funds needed for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to grant a visa.
Another significant international factor is the recent increase in the number of Indian foreign workers moving to Canada to pursue permanent residence due to the lack of permanent residence pathways in the U.S.
These traits are necessary for any Indian who wishes to relocate to Canada, whether as permanent residents, foreign workers, or international students.
Canada's domestic immigration policies have undergone a number of significant changes that are extremely advantageous to Indian talent. Canada continues to raise ITAs in the most recent Express Entry draw. IRCC invited 2750 Express Entry applicants to apply for permanent residency on August 31, 2022. The cut-off score for the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) was 516. The CRS requirement for the current draw is 9 points lower than the minimum cut-off score for the last all-program draw on August 17, which was 525.
When the IRCC publishes its Immigration Levels Plan 2023–2025 by November 1 of this year, the targets may increase once more. There are no caps on the number of foreign workers or students that Canada will accept. We should continue to anticipate significant numbers of Indians moving to Canada to work and study over the upcoming years, given that the country continues to experience historic labour shortages and a high demand for higher education.
