Reply to comment by AdapterCable in [OC] Canada’s top 10 Sources of Immigration by Country of Citizenship in 2022 by datasciencerookie

The Canadian definition of immigrant is permanent resident basically:

Immigrant refers to a person who is, or who has ever been, a landed immigrant or permanent resident. Such a person has been granted the right to live in Canada permanently by immigration authorities.

Most Ukrainians who entered Canada recently came on a temporary 3 year work permit

Correct. The Ukrainians that were urgently brought in are temporary residents, not immigrants. Many of them will likely qualify for PR once they have some Canadian experience, but as temporary residents there is an implicit understanding that they will leave before their status expires.
