Hello! This is NohProblem Consulting, your go-to source for the latest Canadian immigration information.
Today, we’re going to discuss the 2025-2027 Canadian Immigration Plan announced on the 24th.
Shall we dive in?
Today, the Canadian government unveiled its 2025-2027 immigration levels plan. Each year, Canada announces its immigration plan for the next three years at the end of the year. This year’s numbers for 2025-2027 show a roughly 20% reduction compared to the figures announced in 2023, indicating a policy aimed at reducing overall immigration numbers. The announced figures are as follows:
According to the plan, Canada expects a 0.2% population decrease in 2025 and 2026, followed by a return to 0.8% population growth in 2027.
The Immigration Department explained that this reduction is an effort to lower the proportion of temporary residents in the overall Canadian population from 7% to 5% by the end of 2026. Considering the temporary resident reduction measures announced in September and last year, Canada’s temporary population is expected to decrease over the next few years.
✔︎ 2025: A decrease of 445,901 🔻
✔︎ 2026: A decrease of 445,662 🔻
✔︎ 2027: An increase of 17,439 🔺
Recent discussions in Canada highlight that an overly aggressive immigration policy has been linked to rising housing prices and unemployment rates. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, interest rates have surged, placing a heavy mortgage burden on Canadians. The influx of immigrants has driven up housing demand, exacerbating the housing shortage. Additionally, the inflow of relatively inexpensive labor has contributed to a rise in youth unemployment and increased pressure on public services.
The reduction in immigration numbers appears to be a measure to protect Canadian citizens from these issues. The government stated, “This shows the end of the pandemic era when temporary resident criteria were relaxed to fill labor shortages.”
That’s the summary of Canada’s immigration plan for the next three years.
While overall immigration numbers are being reduced, Canada will continue to welcome immigrants. Permanent residency streams already in place won’t disappear. However, as immigration policies and temporary resident restrictions become stricter, it’s recommended to work with a trustworthy immigration firm like NohProblem to increase your chances of success in preparing your immigration plan.
