In recent years, newcomers from India have dominated Canada's immigration numbers for spouses and partners, but that was not always the case.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) revealed that more spouses and partners from the Philippines were granted permanent residency in 2015 than Indians.
Over the last several years, Indians have dominated the statistics, with 10,705 Indian spouses and partners becoming permanent residents in 2021 or 17% of the overall 64,340.
Last year, candidates from the Philippines, the US, and China were among the most numerous group of spouse and partner permanent residents.
