Federal projections show more than 40 per cent of newcomers granted permanent status this year will be those already residing in Canada as an NPR, part of what IRCC is calling its "in-Canada focus."IRCC says that this year, a majority of new PRs will be economic immigrants, with roughly another 25 per cent made up of family immigrants and the remainder set aside for refugees, protected persons and others.
Among all of those given PR status in the next year, 8.5 per cent are expected to be French speakers who live outside of Quebec, a proportion expected to rise to one in 10 by 2027.
Quebec, which handles some aspects of immigration separately from the federal system, has said roughly 80 per cent of immigrants admitted to the province in the next year are expected to know French.
