Show Notes
Canadas population growth projections have taken a significant hit, with the parliamentary budget officer predicting flat growth by 2026. This is due to a substantial reduction in non-permanent resident admissions in the latest federal immigration plan. After years of rapid increases, including a record jump of over one million people each in 2022 and 2023, growth is now expected to be minimal. The new plan aims to reduce temporary work and student visas, and while it includes two one-time programs to fast-track non-permanent residents to permanent status, the overall impact is expected to result in a significant decrease in non-permanent residents, potentially dropping their share below five percent by 2027.
