A sharp reset of intake levels to ease pressure on services and housing

The Government commits to reducing Canada's temporary population to under 5 per cent of total population by end of 2027.
A 100,000-person cut to permanent residents from the 2024 peak
Permanent resident admissions are set at 380,000 in 2026, down from 395,000 in 2025 and approximately 485,000 in 2024. The economic-class share rises to 64 per cent in 2027 and 2028. Up to 33,000 temporary workers will transition to permanent residency in 2026 and 2027 under accelerated pathways.
