In a major policy reversal, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced plans to cut immigration targets by at least 20% in response to growing public concern over high levels of immigration. For the first time in 25 years, a majority of Canadians believe there is too much immigration, with nearly two-thirds supporting a reduction in immigration levels, according to recent polls. The government’s decision to scale back immigration aims to alleviate pressures on the housing market and social services, acknowledging the failure of previous expansive immigration policies. The new plan will also limit the intake of temporary foreign workers, as the Trudeau administration seeks to stabilize population growth amidst widespread concern over labor market impacts. This shift reflects a broader trend of declining support for immigration across the country.
