Numbers surged from around 193,000 in 2019 to 965,000 in 2022, according to official data.

Immigration hotspots of England and Wales are also revealed in an interactive map which shows how the effect of immigration has left some parts of the country “unrecognisable” from 30 years ago.
It comes after another record busting year with Office for National Statistics (ONS) analysts revealing 906,000 people were added to the UK's population during the year ending June 2023.
This was 166,000 – or 22 per cent – higher than the agency's original toll, which itself was an all-time high.

Keir Starmer has sought to blame the rise on Brexit but Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said the data highlights how the Conservative Party failed to grip immigration when they were in power.
He told the Express: "The Conservative party told us that a points-based system would reduce immigration into our country. They lied to us."
ONS bosses have yet to update their estimates for individual authorities, meaning the true immigration levels could be even greater than our map suggests in parts of the country.
Middlesbrough – home to roughly 150,000 people – was this summer named as being the council most-affected by immigration, registering an influx of just shy of 6,800 international migrants throughout 2023.
The ONS's most up-to-date figures, therefore, imply international migration last year alone accounted for roughly 4.4 per cent of Middlesbrough's total population.
Similarly high figures were logged in Coventry (4.3 per cent) and Newham in London (3.9 per cent).
Sky-high immigration levels meant parts of the capital welcomed up to 240 more residents per square kilometre last year, heaping even greater pressure on housing, schools and the struggling NHS.
Birmingham logged the biggest net gain last year in international migrants, becoming home to nearly 25,000 citizens from outside the UK.

Sir Keir’s comments about Brexit provoked outrage, with former Tory leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith declaring: “There were already growing levels of migration.
“Brexit is about choices. We make our own policy, not the EU.
“Boris Johnson’s policy wasn’t tight enough. Too many businesses were allowed to bring in migrant labour.
“The PM can’t blame Brexit. It’s his job to resolve the problem, which he wouldn’t have been able to in the EU.
“Also, if Brexit was the problem, how come the EU has been inundated with migrants causing huge issues.
“Did Brexit cause that? I don’t think so.”
Sir Keir claimed in a Downing Street press conference: "Time and again the Conservative Party promised they would get the numbers down. Time and again they failed, and now the chorus of excuses has begun."
He added: "A failure on this scale isn't just bad luck, it isn't a global trend or taking your eye off the ball, no this is a different order of failure.
"This happened by design, not accident.
"Policies were reformed deliberately to liberalise immigration, Brexit was used for that purpose to turn Britain into a one nation experiment in open borders."
Sir Keir vowed to overhaul Britain’s immigration system in a bid to reduce reliance on foreign workers.
"We will publish a white paper imminently, which sets out a plan to reduce immigration.
"The migration advisory committee is already conducting a review and where we find clear evidence of sectors that are overreliant on immigration, we will reform the points-based system and make sure that applications for the relevant visa routes, whether it's the skilled worker route or the shortage occupation list, will now come with new expectations on training people here in our country.
"We will also crack down on any abuse of the visa routes.”

Former Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick said: “The levels of immigration seen in recent times have caused immense and lasting harm.
“They have made us poorer and divided.
“Some parts of our country are unrecognisable from 30 years ago.”
