Temporary Residents Beware: Canada’s New Immigration Reforms Explained

Hello! This is NohProblem Consulting, your trusted local Canadian immigration agency.

On November 25, Canada’s Immigration Minister, Marc Miller, announced that additional reforms to Canada’s immigration and asylum systems would be proposed in the coming weeks.

In October, the federal government released its 2025-2027 Immigration Plan, which revealed a reduction in overall immigration targets by about 20% compared to figures announced in 2023.

Under this plan:

  • Canada is expected to see a 0.2% population decline in 2025 and 2026,
  • Followed by a 0.8% population growth in 2027.

The reduction reflects efforts to lower the share of temporary residents in Canada’s total population from 7% to 5% by the end of 2026. Considering measures announced last year to reduce the temporary resident population:

  • Canada’s temporary population is expected to decrease by:
    ✔︎ 445,901 in 2025
    ✔︎ 445,662 in 2026
  • And increase by 17,439 in 2027.

Marc Miller also highlighted inefficiencies in the current asylum and refugee processing system.

  • The average processing time for refugee and asylum applications is 44 months.
  • As of September, there were 250,000 pending applications, and only 48,000 applications have been processed since January 2024.

“Becoming a permanent resident is not a right. Becoming a Canadian citizen is not a right.”
Marc Miller, Immigration Minister of Canada

Miller further mentioned that 40% of new permanent residents will be selected from people already residing in Canada. This aligns with the government’s prior announcement of a focus on temporary residents already in the country, offering good news for those currently living in Canada.
