Canada Controlling Immigration
Ottawa, Canada
Minister Miller's immigration control plan aims to reduce the number of permanent and temporary residents entering the country over the next three years to 2027, stabilizing population growth and addressing housing, healthcare, and social services concerns.
The plan emphasizes transitioning existing temporary residents to permanent residency, aiming to maintain a controlled and responsible immigration system while still welcoming newcomers.
Key numerical goals include reducing the temporary resident population, closing the housing supply gap, and increasing francophone immigration outside of Quebec.
Here's a summary of the immigration control plan in numbers as stated by Minister Miller:
Permanent Residents:
2025: Reduced from 500,000 to 395,000 (a net reduction of 105,000)
2026: Further reduced to 380,000
2027: Stabilized at 365,000
Temporary Residents:
2025: Reduction of 445,000
2026: Additional reduction of 445,000
2027: Moderate increase of 17,000
Other Numerical Goals:
Reduce temporary resident population from 7% to 5%
Impact housing supply gap by 670,000 units by the end of 2027
Over 40% of permanent residents will come from existing temporary residents
Increase francophone immigration levels outside Quebec to 6% by 2025 and 10% by 2027
