Canada's Changing Immigration Policies in 2025

Canada is significantly changing its immigration policies in 2025, moving towards tighter caps on both permanent and non-permanent residents. This shift is primarily driven by concerns about rapid population growth putting strain on housing and social services. The changes impact various immigration streams, including permanent residency, temporary foreign workers, international students, and asylum seekers. The government aims to "pause population growth in the short term" and regain control over the system, acknowledging past oversights.
