To address evolving economic needs and labour market pressures, Canada’s Immigration Minister Marc Miller has unveiled new measures to manage the influx of temporary residents. The plan aims to reduce the number of temporary residents from 6.5% to 5% of Canada’s total population by 2026. Key changes include a 10% reduction in international student study permits for 2025, updates to the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program, and limitations on work permit eligibility for certain groups. These adjustments are part of a broader strategy to strengthen Canada’s immigration system while balancing economic growth and community support.
