The Canadian officials have said the country will likely welcome 350,000 new immigrants colonists during the current year while the number would grow to 360,000 in 2020 and 370,000 in 2021.

At least 286,000 new immigrants colonists were welcomed during the year 2017, according to the officials.

The latest announcement by Canada follows the restrictive immigration policies adopted by certain western countries including United States.

This comes as there has been an unprecedented rise in the levels of refugees during the recent the recent years with the UNHCR figures showing around 68.5 million people have been forcibly displaced.
