Canada's immigration measures yield 214,520 fewer arrivals, signalling progress toward sustainable population goals

Canada's immigration reform efforts are showing measurable success, with 214,520 fewer international students and temporary workers arriving between January and June 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This significant reduction results from strategic policy changes implemented through the 2025-2027 Immigration Levels Plan, including a 10% cap reduction for international student permits and tightened eligibility requirements for work permits. These measures aim to ease pressures on housing and services while maintaining Canada's commitment to reducing the temporary resident population to less than 5% of the overall population.
