The Government of Canada announced its Immigration levels plan on November 4, 2025. The plan aims to admit about 380,000 new permanent residents annually from 2026 to 2028 and increase the number of economic immigrants coming to the country. For the permanent resident stream, the government is aiming to boost the share of economic migrants from 59 per cent to 64 per cent over the next three (3) years. The plan prioritizes economic immigrants with a target of just under 240,000 in 2026. That grows to almost 245,000 in 2027 and 2028.
By contrast, the federal government is significantly reducing the number of temporary residents it allows into Canada over the next few years. Canada will aim to admit only 385,000 temporary residents next year — about 43 per cent less than the 2025 target — and 370,000 in the following two years. The target for 2026 is down by about a quarter compared to the Immigration levels plan released last year, which had said Canada would welcome more than 516,000 temporary residents. The rationale behind this move is that the government is aiming to bring Immigration to “more sustainable levels.”
