Immigration targets have risen steadily in recent years. Last year, the government released a plan to grant permanent residency to 465,000 people in 2023, a figure that would rise to 500,000 by 2025.

The immigration target for 2015 was under 300,000.

      Is this true? The unemployment numbers are pretty low even after the interest hikes.

        I’ve seen it 2 or 3 times myself in my own town. I can only imagine it’s everywhere.
