Canada’s strategic immigration policy adjustments have resulted in a significant decrease of 235,070 in temporary resident arrivals between January and July 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. Through the 2025-2027 Immigration Levels Plan, authorities have successfully reduced international student arrivals by 98,070 (58%) and temporary worker arrivals by 137,000 (51%), bringing the total temporary population closer to the sustainable 5% target. These reductions have been achieved by implementing a 10% cap on international students and tightening work permit eligibility requirements, which helps alleviate pressures on housing and services while prioritizing the economic integration of existing residents.
