Federal immigration minister is slashing immigration targets as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau admits the government did not get the balance right following the COVID-19 pandemic. The Federals had targeted bringing in 500,000 new permanent residents in both 2025 and 2026.
Now PM Trudeau says next year’s target will be 395,000 new permanent residents, which will continue to fall to 380,000 in 2026 and 365,000 in 2027.
