Canada will sharply lower the number of immigrants it allows into the country for the first time in years, marking a notable shift in policy for the government as it tries to remain in power.
Canada will bring in 395,000 new permanent residents in 2025, 380,000 in 2026 and 365,000 in 2027, down from 485,000 in 2024, according to a government source.
The number of temporary residents, meanwhile, will decrease by about 30,000 to around 300,000 in 2025, the source said.
The new targets were first reported by The National Post.(Reuters)
