How many newcomers is Canada targeting for 2017?

to the report released in October of 2016 Canada will welcome between 280-320K (target
of 300K) new immigrants. Out of this number at lease 172K will be economic immigrants.

What should newcomers consider before immigrating to Canada?
Based
on surveys and roundtable discussions conducted, there are several areas which
pose a challenge for newcomers. This was highlighted in a report entitled “Report
on Qualitative Findings” submitted to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
Canada by Leger, a research group. To quote from the said report amongst the
important considerations are:
1)
Integration issues (mostly tied to linguistic integration, and economic
integration often referred to as “finding that first job”);
2)
The capacity of our job market to supply enough quality employment
opportunities to newcomers;
3)
Our capacity to properly support and adequately educate newcomers on our laws,
and “general way of doing things”, allowing newcomers to smoothly “fit in” (an
individual responsibility of members of the host society directly in contact
with newcomers);
4)
Foreign credential recognition and the burden on professionals to “regain”
their right to work in their field; and
5)
System capacity issues (vetting, selection, welcoming, and proper follow-ups
and measurement of outcomes).
