Canada’s 2025 Budget: 17 Highlights You Should Know.

The Canadian 2025 Federal Budget has just been released — and it’s packed with big moves aimed at saving money, investing smarter, and reshaping Canada’s economic and immigration landscape.

If you haven’t had a chance to dive in yet, don’t worry — our Diversity Magazine Team has broken down the about 500 pages document into 17 key takeaways for you:

💸 $60 billion in savings over the next five years — reducing annual spending by $13 billion by 2028–29.

⚙️ Smarter spending: the government plans to spend less but invest more strategically in workers, businesses, and infrastructure.

🌎 Permanent residency targets set at 380,000 per year (2026–2028) — slightly below 2025 levels — with a larger share of economic migrants (64%).

✈️ Temporary resident admissions will drop from 673,650 in 2025 to 385,000 in 2026 and 370,000 in 2027–2028.

🧳 Faster pathways to PR: up to 33,000 work permit holders will transition to permanent residency between 2026 and 2027.

🚀 $750 million boost to help Canadian startups overcome early-stage funding challenges and scale their businesses.

🛡️ Permanent residency for Protected Persons: a one-time initiative will recognize eligible individuals over the next two years.

🔁 Reconfirmed: up to 33,000 work permit holders will become permanent residents — a second mention that underscores the priority.

🌿 $6 billion over 10 years to fund climate adaptation, community infrastructure, and regional projects of significance.

🏘️ The Canada Community Building Fund gets a new name: now called the Community Stream, channeling $27.8 billion over 10 years and $3 billion annually for local infrastructure.

🧱 Reallocated funds: the new Build Communities Strong Fund draws resources from the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund.

🏗️ A record $280 billion over five years to build infrastructure, protect communities, and create opportunities — or $450 billion on a cash basis.

📉 Program spending growth slowed from 8% to under 1%, signaling a more disciplined fiscal approach.

♿ Canada Disability Benefit boost: $115.7 million over four years for a one-time $150 supplemental payment, retroactive to the benefit’s launch, with first payments expected by 2026–27.

🛤️ Federal infrastructure investments projected to reach $115.2 billion over the next five years.

🏡 New initiatives: The Major Projects Office and Build Canada Homes will fast-track national projects and double housing construction over the next decade — adding $60+ billion to the economy and thousands of jobs.

🤝 $213.8 million over five years for the Major Projects Office, including funding for the Indigenous Advisory Council.

In summary, Budget 2025 is about tightening where necessary and investing where it matters most — in housing, infrastructure, innovation, and opportunity. It’s a blueprint for a leaner, more focused, and forward-looking Canada. 🇨🇦

Budget 2025 du Canada : 17 points saillants à connaître

Le budget fédéral canadien 2025 vient tout juste d’être dévoilé — et il regorge de mesures ambitieuses visant à économiser de l’argent, investir plus intelligemment et remodeler le paysage économique et migratoire du pays.

Si vous n’avez pas encore eu le temps d’y jeter un œil, pas d’inquiétude — l’équipe de Diversity Magazine a résumé pour vous ce document d’environ 500 pages en 17 points essentiels :

💸 60 milliards $ d’économies prévues sur les cinq prochaines années — avec une réduction des dépenses annuelles de 13 milliards $ d’ici 2028–2029.

⚙️ Des dépenses plus stratégiques : le gouvernement prévoit de dépenser moins, mais d’investir plus intelligemment dans les travailleurs, les entreprises et les infrastructures.

🌎 Cibles d’immigration permanente : 380 000 résidents permanents par an (2026–2028), soit légèrement en dessous du niveau de 2025, avec une plus grande part dédiée aux migrants économiques (64 %).

✈️ Admissions de résidents temporaires : elles passeront de 673 650 en 2025 à 385 000 en 2026, puis à 370 000 en 2027–2028.

🧳 Voies accélérées vers la résidence permanente : jusqu’à 33 000 titulaires de permis de travail obtiendront la résidence permanente entre 2026 et 2027.

🚀 750 millions $ pour aider les jeunes entreprises canadiennes à surmonter les défis du financement de démarrage et à se développer.

🛡️ Résidence permanente pour les personnes protégées : une initiative ponctuelle permettra de reconnaître les individus admissibles au cours des deux prochaines années.

🔁 Confirmation : jusqu’à 33 000 titulaires de permis de travail deviendront résidents permanents — une deuxième mention qui souligne cette priorité.

🌿 6 milliards $ sur 10 ans pour financer l’adaptation climatique, les infrastructures communautaires et des projets régionaux d’importance.

🏘️ Nouveau nom pour le Fonds de la taxe sur l’essence : désormais appelé le « Fonds communautaire », il dirigera 27,8 milliards $ sur 10 ans et 3 milliards $ par an vers les infrastructures locales.

🧱 Réaffectation de fonds : le nouveau Fonds Renforcer les Communautés puise ses ressources dans le Fonds canadien pour les infrastructures liées au logement.

🏗️ Un record de 280 milliards $ sur cinq ans pour bâtir des infrastructures, protéger les communautés et créer des opportunités — ou 450 milliards $ en base de trésorerie.

📉 Croissance des dépenses de programmes ralentie de 8 % à moins de 1 %, signe d’une approche budgétaire plus disciplinée.

♿ Prestation canadienne d’invalidité : 115,7 millions $ sur quatre ans pour un paiement supplémentaire unique de 150 $, rétroactif au lancement du programme, avec les premiers versements prévus d’ici 2026–2027.

🛤️ Investissements fédéraux en infrastructures : estimés à 115,2 milliards $ au cours des cinq prochaines années.

🏡 Nouvelles initiatives : le Bureau des grands projets et Construire des maisons au Canada accéléreront les projets nationaux et doubleront la construction de logements au cours de la prochaine décennie — ajoutant plus de 60 milliards $ à l’économie et des milliers d’emplois.

🤝 213,8 millions $ sur cinq ans pour le Bureau des grands projets, incluant le financement du Conseil consultatif autochtone.

En résumé, le Budget 2025 met l’accent sur la rigueur là où c’est nécessaire et sur l’investissement là où cela compte le plus — dans le logement, les infrastructures, l’innovation et les opportunités.
C’est un plan directeur pour un Canada plus efficace, plus ciblé et tourné vers l’avenir. 🇨🇦
