00:59This video explores Mark Carney's new direction on immigration policy,
01:05with a focus on maximizing economic contribution and system capacity,
01:09the critical links between immigration, housing and labour market demands,
01:13and what all of this means for skilled workers and international students.
01:18So make sure to watch till the end,
01:21to understand how this evolving strategy could shape your opportunities in Canada.
01:30Let's begin with Mark Carney's new immigration direction.
01:34Carney's mandate prioritizes attracting top global talent while reducing overall immigration to sustainable levels.
01:41Unlike his predecessors, Carney draws a clear line between boosting productivity and overburdening public infrastructure.
01:50Next, we explore the focus on economic contribution and capacity.
01:57The government aims to strengthen key sectors, skilled trades, infrastructure and tech,
02:03but plans to scale back other immigration streams.
02:07Rising pressure on housing and public services has pushed the Liberals into policy correction mode.
02:13Moving on to the links between immigration, housing and labour.
02:20Housing affordability now directly shapes immigration policy.
02:25Carney plans to catalyze public-private construction partnerships, demanding a skilled workforce,
02:31which immigration must strategically support.
02:36Then we examine what this means for skilled workers and international students.
02:43Expect tighter caps on student visas and more selective PR pathways.
02:47Only applicants who align with sectoral demands and demonstrate economic value
02:51are likely to benefit from the new system.
02:56Finally, we wrap up with the conclusion.
02:58Canada's doors aren't shutting, they're narrowing.
03:03Under Carney's leadership, immigration will be measured, targeted and results-driven.
03:08If you're a skilled worker, the opportunity still exists.
03:11But the path just became steeper.
