A recent Leger poll conducted for the National Post has unveiled that 65% of Canadians think the Liberal government’s immigration targets are set too high. The survey, which comes as the government aims to welcome 500,000 newcomers annually by 2025 and 2026, also found that 78% of respondents believe high immigration levels contribute to the housing shortage. While opinions on the temporary foreign worker program remain mixed, with 48% viewing it positively, the poll highlights growing concerns about the impact of immigration on various sectors, including healthcare. The government has recently announced plans to adjust policies regarding temporary residents in response to these concerns.
