Summary: Canada is entering a rare period of alignment between the federal government and Quebec on immigration policy. After years of disagreement, both now support a more balanced, stable approach to managing immigration—one that protects jobs, supports communities, and strengthens long-term integration. This cooperation marks a significant shift as Canada seeks economic stability and manageable population growth.

Ottawa and Quebec now agree that immigration should continue but at a controlled pace, that essential and low-wage jobs must be protected, that housing and public services must keep up with newcomer arrivals, and that Quebec’s unique needs should fit within a national framework. This alignment offers greater predictability for immigrants, skilled workers, international graduates, and employers.

Challenges remain, such as Quebec’s push for faster federal decisions on exemptions for certain low-wage sectors, but both governments recognize that these industries are vital to local economies. Despite talk of reductions, overall immigration numbers will stay high: Ottawa plans to maintain around 380,000 permanent residents annually, and Quebec still relies heavily on temporary workers.

Overall, this renewed coordination signals a more stable and unified path for Canada’s immigration system. Newcomers can expect clearer programs, more realistic timelines, and a long-term strategy aimed at sustainable growth. The partnership strengthens Canada’s reputation as a country that welcomes talent while safeguarding community capacity and economic needs.
