• Refugees/Protected/Humanitarian: ~ 68,350 in 2025 and ~ 62,250 in 2026

So they slightly lowered the number for 2026, but it’s not a big change.

The Liberals say they will also bring in a one-time measure to accelerate the permanent residency status of protected persons — those who have had their asylum claim approved by the Immigration and Refugee Board but are waiting for their residency status to be approved.

In addition to the levels plan, the budget proposes a “one-time” initiative to recognize “eligible” protected persons as permanent residents over the next two years. The budget describes this as a “practical step,” since many protected persons can’t return to their home countries.

The government has not yet released details on which protected persons will be eligible.

The mass approval I mentioned in different topics was something like this.

The Liberals say they will also introduce a one-time measure to expedite the permanent residency status of protected persons — those who have had their asylum claim approved by the Immigration and Refugee Board but are awaiting approval of their residency status.

If it’s similar to TR to PR in 2021, we need to stay alert to IRCC announcements because this will be temporary, and we might have to apply for it instead of receiving it automatically
