Canada set an immigration record last year, granting permanent residency to more than 437,000 foreigners, the government said on Tuesday.

The government had set a target of welcoming 431,645 new permanent residents in 2022, and the immigration ministry announced that Canada had met that goal, making it the largest annual intake of people in Canadian history, Reuters reported.

The number for the previous year is almost 9% higher than 2021, when Canada broke the old record set in 1913.
