Immigration: The end of the Canadian dream?

Release Date: 2025-09-05
Media: France 24
Summary: Canada, long known for its open immigration policy, has announced a freeze on new immigration targets under Prime Minister Mark Carney. This shift is largely driven by changing public opinion—58% of Canadians now believe immigration levels are too high, up from 27% in 2022. Concerns include a worsening housing crisis and pressure on social and healthcare services.

In 2023, Canada admitted over 1.27 million newcomers—the highest number since 1957—amid labor shortages. Today, nearly one in four Canadians is foreign-born, a unique situation among G7 nations.

With anti-immigration movements like "Take Back Canada" gaining traction, the once-celebrated immigration model faces growing resistance. However, foreign workers remain essential to Canada's economy and long-term future.
