Guest: Nicholas Keung, Toronto Star Immigration Reporter

Canada is quietly but significantly changing course on immigration. As the federal government moves to reduce the number of non-permanent residents, critics warn this may signal a harder shift in policy, with growing efforts to tighten border controls and slow down immigration processing. Questions are mounting about how these changes will affect the labour market, the economy, and the people caught in the middle. In this episode, immigration reporter Nicholas Keung explains what's shifting, why it's happening now, and what it could mean for Canada's future as a destination for newcomers.
