00:00Study permits, work visas under scrutiny, and Canada's new immigration plan.

00:07Canada's image as a welcoming haven for international students and skilled workers may be shifting dramatically.

00:13Just days after his election, Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled a bold plan to slash immigration numbers,

00:21sparking concern among hopeful applicants worldwide.

00:26With housing and services strained, will Canada tighten its borders further?

00:45In today's video update, we cover the new immigration caps for both permanent and temporary residents,

00:52the resulting impact on study permits and work visas, updated francophone immigration targets,

00:57and the latest reforms to the global skills strategy.

01:02Watch till the end to see how these changes could affect your immigration pathway,

01:07and what new opportunities or challenges may lie ahead.

01:11Let's begin with new immigration caps for permanent and temporary residents.

01:22Carney confirmed his government will cap annual permanent resident admissions at below 1% of Canada's population,

01:30targeting 395,000 in 2025, 380,000 in 2026, and 365,000 in 2027.

01:43Temporary residents, now 7.25% of the population, will be cut to under 5% by 2028.

01:51Next, we examine the impact on study permits and work visas.

01:58International students and foreign workers are under increased scrutiny.

02:03The government plans to limit study permit approvals, restrict postgraduate work permits,

02:08and phase out spousal open work permits.

02:11While some current residents may transition to PR, new applicants face tighter conditions.

02:16Moving on to francophone immigration targets.

02:22In a push to support French-speaking communities outside Quebec, Canada has set ambitious targets.

02:288.5% in 2025, rising to 12% by 2029.

02:33This move aims to balance regional and linguistic diversity in the national immigration strategy.

02:39Then, we explore reforms to the global skills strategy.

02:45Carney aims to modernize the system, revamp the global skills strategy for faster processing,

02:51and accelerate recognition of foreign credentials, ensuring skilled talent can fill key labour gaps efficiently.

02:58Finally, we wrap up with conclusion.

03:02Carney's plan signals a recalibration, not a closure, of Canada's immigration doors.

03:08The path remains open, but only to those who align with Canada's economic and social priorities.

03:14The next few years will test who gets in, and who gets left out.
