Introduction
The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act came into effect on June 28, 2002, replacing the Immigration Act of 1976. Under section 94 of the Act (see Annex A), the Minister for Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is required to table an annual report in Parliament on the Department’s immigration activities and initiatives. The report focuses on the selection of foreign nationals as permanent and temporary residents during the preceding calendar year. The legislation also requires an overview of federal–provincial/territorial agreements and joint initiatives, as well as a gender-based analysis of the impact of the Act. In addition, the report serves as a vehicle for announcing Canada’s immigration plan for the upcoming calendar year.
This report is divided into five sections.
SECTION 1 presents a brief overview of the current context of Canada’s immigration program and provides a summary of Canada’s immigration levels plan for 2012.
SECTION 2 summarizes activities and initiatives regarding the selection of permanent and temporary residents. It also provides key statistics relating to permanent and temporary residents admitted in 2010.
SECTION 3 focuses on CIC’s partnerships with the provinces and territories. It outlines the bilateral agreements currently in force between the federal government and provincial and territorial governments, and describes major joint initiatives.
SECTION 4 provides a brief overview of settlement and resettlement programs and activities relating to Canadian citizenship.
SECTION 5 describes CIC’s framework for gender-based analysis, highlights gender-based analysis activities and provides a statistical overview of gender differences in relation to key immigration statistics.
