Canada Permanent Resident Admissions (All Programs)
Every person Canada has granted permanent residence since 2015 — across Economic, Family, Refugees, and Humanitarian streams — broken down by source country, program, destination province, and age. Live IRCC monthly data refreshed from canada.ca.
Permanent residents admitted, year by year
Every person who became a Canadian permanent resident in the calendar year — Economic + Family + Refugees + Humanitarian, all programs combined. 2026 is partial (Feb, Jan, Mar) — treat the final point as in-progress.
Where permanent residents come from — by stream
The four federal immigration streams stacked by year. Economic immigration (Express Entry, PNP, Business) is the largest stream every single year — but Family sponsorship and Refugees / Protected Persons together still admit close to a third of all PRs.

About this data
IRCC suppresses cells with counts 0-5 and rounds others to the nearest 5 to protect privacy. Yearly totals here aggregate across provinces (where applicable) and exclude suppressed rows, so they may differ slightly from IRCC's published yearly aggregates by a few hundred to a few thousand.
Yearly totals aggregate every monthly observation and exclude suppressed rows (counts 0-5).
