00:01Canada's new government strikes a more conservative note on immigration.
00:07Canada has long been a symbol of openness, but cracks are forming in that reputation.
00:13With newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney at the helm, the government is taking a sharp
00:17turn.
00:19Permanent residency targets are shrinking.
00:22And temporary migration, once unchecked, is now capped.
00:26Could this mark the end of Canada's welcoming era?
00:45In today's video update, we discuss Canada's new immigration caps for 2025 to 2027.
00:53The implementation of a 5% temporary resident population target, the resulting impact on
00:58international students and foreign workers, and the strong sector-wide response from Canadian
01:04educators.
01:07Watch till the end to understand how these changes could affect your plans to study or work
01:12in Canada and what key stakeholders are doing in response.
01:24Let's begin with Canada's new immigration caps from the year 2025 to 2027.
01:31IRCC plans to admit 395,000 permanent residents in 2025, decreasing to 365,000 by 2027.
01:44This is a major shift from the prior 500,000 a year goal and signals a more cautious approach
01:49to population growth.
01:52Next, we look at the 5% temporary resident population target.
02:00With over 3 million non-permanent residents, 7.25% of the population, Canada aims to bring
02:06this figure down to 5% by 2027, slashing the number of foreign students and temporary workers.
02:14The government needs to reduce temporary residents by 1 million within 3 years.
02:21Moving on to the impact on international students and foreign workers.
02:27The 2024 student cap was just the beginning.
02:31Enrollment is already dropping.
02:33And gaining permanent residency after graduation will now be more competitive than ever.
02:38But the once clear path from study to settlement is growing uncertain.
02:45Then we explore the sector-wide response from Canadian educators.
02:52Education leaders are raising the alarm.
02:55Universities Canada warns that visa delays and policy shifts are costing Canada its competitive
02:59edge in the global talent race.
03:02The trust that made Canada a top destination is eroding.
03:06And the consequences could be long term.
03:11Finally, we wrap up with Conclusion Colon.
03:18As Canada tightens its immigration belt, both students and skilled workers face an unpredictable
03:23future.
03:24For a country that once prided itself on openness, this recalibration could come at the cost of
03:30reputation, revenue and talent.
03:34The countdown to 2027 is ticking.
03:37Will Canada hold the line or course correct?
