African countries have become increasingly important sources of immigration to Canada. In 2024, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Eritrea are all within the top 10, replacing traditionally important sources like the U.S. and U.K. Nigeria is projected to contribute over 21,000 new permanent residents, Cameroon nearly 19,000, and Eritrea approximately 13,400 by the end of 2024. This shift highlights Africa's growing role in Canada's immigration landscape.
