Canada’s Immigration Crisis: Potential Exits Loom for Millions
Reports suggest that millions of temporary residents in Canada could face challenges maintaining their status due to changes in immigration policies.
The Canadian government is implementing measures to reduce the number of temporary residents to manage population growth, address housing shortages, and focus on sustainable immigration practices.
Key changes include stricter eligibility for international students, caps on spousal work permits, and revised wage requirements for temporary foreign workers.
These adjustments aim to reduce the temporary resident population by 5% by 2026.
The government is also encouraging pathways for transitioning skilled temporary residents to permanent residency to support the labor market without overwhelming resources.
