Summary
In March 2025, Mark Carney was sworn in as Canada’s Prime Minister and, along with the Liberal Party, began implementing a revised immigration policy aimed at addressing mounting pressure on the country's housing, healthcare, and labor systems. While maintaining that Canada remains a welcoming nation, Carney emphasized the need to reduce immigration to sustainable levels.

The government plans to gradually lower the number of permanent residents from 500,000 to 395,000 in 2025, 380,000 in 2026, and 365,000 in 2027—keeping admissions below 1% of the population annually. Temporary residents, such as international students and foreign workers, currently make up about 7.25% of the population, and the government aims to reduce this to under 5% by the end of 2027 through tighter visa caps and eligibility restrictions.

In addition, the government is focusing on transitioning some temporary residents to permanent status, while allowing others to exit the country as their permits expire. At the same time, Carney’s administration seeks to strengthen support for French-speaking immigrants outside Quebec and attract highly skilled global talent, including professionals from the U.S., through reforms to the Global Skills Strategy and faster recognition of foreign credentials.

Overall, Carney's government is taking a more strategic and controlled approach to immigration, balancing economic needs with public infrastructure capacity to ensure long-term national stability.
