00:07A storm is brewing in Canada's immigration system.
00:11Under Prime Minister Mark Carney's leadership, the country is preparing for sweeping policy changes.
00:17With rising population pressure and strained infrastructure, the Liberal government is imposing strict immigration caps.
00:24Will your path to Canada survive this new reality?
00:29In today's video update, we discuss the population cap on temporary residents, updated permanent resident admission targets, India's declining immigration numbers,
00:56the revised global skills strategy to attract skilled talent, and crucial work permit reforms and credential recognition measures.
01:07Watch till the end to understand how these strategic shifts could affect your immigration plans and reshape global mobility trends in 2025.
01:16Let's begin with population cap on temporary residents.
01:27By 2027, international students and temporary foreign workers will be capped at 5% of Canada's population.
01:39Currently at 7.3%, this change could significantly reduce future intake, hitting students and low-skilled workers hardest.
01:50Next, we examine permanent resident admission targets.
01:54Canada plans to stabilize PR admissions below 1% of the population, setting targets of 395,000 for the year 2025,
02:06380,000 in 2026, and 365,000 in the year 2027.
02:16While skilled workers may benefit, the window is tightening.
02:23Moving on to India's declining immigration numbers.
02:27India remains the top source for immigrants and students, but numbers are falling.
02:31Study permits issued to Indian students drop by 32% in one year, a clear sign of tightening controls.
02:38Then we explore the revised global skills strategy for skilled talent.
02:46The updated global skills strategy promises fast-tracked work permits for high-demand professionals.
02:53Yet, the bar is high. Only top-tier global talent will benefit.
02:59Following that, we look at work permit reforms and credential recognition.
03:05The Liberals also pledge to work with provinces to recognize foreign qualifications faster, especially for healthcare and technical professionals.
03:17Finally, we wrap up with conclusion.
03:20Canada's door remains open, but only a crack.
03:24With firm caps and refined pathways, aspiring migrants must act quickly, strategically and skillfully to secure their spot before it narrows even further.
