In an interview with CTV News on August 26, Immigration Minister Marc Miller revealed that significant changes to Canada’s permanent immigration levels are under consideration. Miller noted that the upcoming Immigration Levels Plan could include substantial adjustments, emphasizing that these changes would be more than mere “cosmetic” alterations.
Miller highlighted that all options are being reviewed, including potentially reducing the proportion of economic immigrants, who currently make up 60% of Canada’s immigration intake—a level he finds unprecedented compared to other countries. However, he stressed the importance of avoiding “overcorrection” and noted that immigration played a crucial role in Canada’s economic stability during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Immigration Levels Plan, published annually by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), sets targets for new permanent residents and guides immigration operations. The plan is reviewed and updated yearly, with targets currently set at 500,000 for both 2025 and 2026.
Public support for immigration has waned recently, influenced by pressures on housing and affordability. In response, IRCC has taken steps such as capping study permits for international students, increasing domestic permanent residence draws, and limiting low-wage temporary foreign workers in high-unemployment areas.
Miller also indicated that additional measures will be announced in the fall, aligning with recent statements from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about balancing support for immigration with responsible integration strategies.
As Canada faces an aging population and labor market needs, the role of immigration remains critical for economic growth and the sustainability of social system
