After years of increasing immigration to Canada and record population growth, the Trudeau government has reversed course.
The Prime Minister now admits they made a mistake.. The feds have slashed Canada’s immigration target for 2025 from 500,000 to 395,000 and restricted the number of non-permanent residents who will be able to come to work or study here.
At the same time, new research shows that highly-skilled immigrants have been leaving Canada in record numbers.
Is now the best time to cut back on immigration?
Daniel Bernhard is the CEO of the Institute for Canadian Citizenship, he explains why the government might be missing part of the picture with its new policy.
