On October 31, Immigration Minister Marc Miller introduced plans to enhance Canada’s immigration system.
After consulting with stakeholders and the public, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is implementing a strategy to align the labour market and immigration system.
IRCC will explore funding initiatives that enhance community partnerships and services in mid-size, rural, and northern areas.
The strategy plans to increase digital settlement services, expand services for Francophone newcomers, and leverage investments from immigrants for affordable housing.
IRCC will also explore enhancing regional immigration, including making the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot a permanent program and developing a new Francophone Immigration Policy to support French-speaking immigrants in minority communities.

On November 17, 2023, Canada responded to the global migration crisis by announcing a humanitarian pathway to provide residence to 15,000 displaced people from the Western Hemisphere.
The pathway, open to Colombian, Haitian, and Venezuelan nationals with family ties in Canada, offers safe migration, pre-arrival services, and potential financial assistance.
Additionally, Canada plans to welcome 4,000 more individuals through existing worker programs. These actions aim to alleviate migration pressures and offer alternatives to irregular migration due to instability.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will monitor and adjust the program as necessary.

On November 6, 2023, Immigration Minister Marc Miller celebrated the 11th National Francophone Immigration Week, emphasizing the value of Francophone immigrants to Canada's cultural, demographic, and economic richness.
The government recently set new admission targets for French-speaking immigrants outside Quebec, aiming for 6% in 2024, 7% in 2025, and 8% in 2026.
These targets reflect Canada's commitment to strengthening Francophone minority communities and supporting labour needs.
The government has been consulting on a new Francophone immigration policy, which will soon be launched under the modernized Official Languages Act.
The policy aims to support Francophone communities outside Quebec.
