👉 Revisions in Parents and Grandparents Program

There will be an increase of 11 % in Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) admissions in 2020 as compared to 2019 and additional people i.e., 67,800 immigrants will be selected through principal applicants, spouses, and dependents category.

To promote economic development, settlement in smaller cities and rural areas will be higher. This broader distribution of Immigrants all over Canada is called Regionalization.

The examples of this have been seen in the past with two recent programs –
