Immigration, Population Growth and Skills Minister Gerry Byrne read a statement in the House of Assembly yesterday that highlighted this province’s growing population and diversity. Byrne says for the last two and a half years, the population of our communities has grown by 12,000 people. New families are arriving daily; where once our schools were seeing declining enrollment of children, for the first time since the 1970’s enrollment is growing. Byrne says 2022 was a record year when we received 3,400 landed Permanent Residents and ran out of space to nominate more under the federal rules. We have received 3,800 new Permanent Residents, well ahead of schedule of meeting targets of 5,100 by 2026.
