Canada to create citizenship path for undocumented immigrants- Globe and Mail

The announcement complements Canada's ambitious immigration targets, which had already aimed to bring in 500,000 immigrants a year by 2025. An estimated 300,000 to 600,000 people are living in the country without valid documents, many of whom risk deportation because they lack formal status, The Global and Mail quoted Miller as saying. Miller added that not all those without valid documents will be allowed to apply for permanent residency, including those who have arrived recently in the country.
