"Canada: A Leading Destination for Immigrants Seeking Citizenship

Canada Remains a Top Destination for Immigrants Seeking Citizenship.

A new statistics released by IRCC reveals, India leads the chart of New Canadian Citizens followed by Philippines and China in 2024. 

The 2024 numbers show a substantial rising trend as t
he country prepares to surpass the 2023 totals. By July 2024, the total number of new Canadian citizens had reached 243,339. By the end of 2022, there were 375,668 new citizens, compared to 379,925 in 2023. This represents 23% of all new Indian citizens in 2024, compared to 20% in 2023 and 15.8% in 2022.

The data show a steady influx of new Canadian citizens from India, owing to Canada's pro-immigrant policies and high demand for qualified workers from the subcontinent.

A table displaying the top ten source nations for new Canadian citizens in 2024 (as of July) and their totals compared to 2023 and 2022:

These comparisons clearly show an increase in the number of new citizens every month by 2024. The trend indicates that Canada's immigration and naturalization rules are successfully attracting and accommodating an increasing number of candidates each year.

Several causes have contributed to Canada's recent spike of new citizens. The country's favorable immigration laws, such as the reduction in processing time for new citizenship applications, are important drivers. Furthermore, Canada's cosmopolitan population, good quality of life, and economic prospects make it an attractive destination for people from all over the world.
