Canada‘s immigration landscape is undergoing a dramatic transformation as the Government of Canada announced significant reductions in immigration targets for 2025. The new plan caps permanent resident admissions at 395,000, down from 485,000 in 2024, with further decreases planned for subsequent years. This policy shift addresses mounting concerns over housing affordability and strained public services. The decision marks a notable departure from Canada’s traditionally expansive immigration approach, prompting debates about its long-term economic implications while aiming to address immediate domestic challenges.
