00:44In this video, we discuss Canada's startling drop in population growth to 0.0% and what it means for the country's future,

00:55the sharp reduction in both permanent and temporary residents,

00:58and the tightening rules now affecting study permits and work visas.

01:03We also examine the economic cost of fewer immigrants and how this ties into Canada's growing aging population growth.

01:08In this video, we discuss Canada's startling drop in population growth to 0.0% and what it means for the country's future,

01:14and the tightening rules now affecting study permits and work visas.

01:19We also examine the economic cost of fewer immigrants and how this ties into Canada's growing aging population crisis.

01:28Watch till the end to understand the full scope of these demographic shifts and what they could mean for your immigration prospects.

01:35Let's begin with population growth drops to 0.0%.

01:48What it means.

01:52Between January and April 2025, Canada's population growth hit just 0.0%, a rare stagnation last seen during border closures.

02:02This marks the sixth quarter of declining growth, raising alarms about Canada's demographic future.

02:11Next, we explore permanent and temporary resident reductions.

02:18Canada slashed its permanent resident intake target from 485,000 in 2024 to 395,000 in 2025.

02:28Temporary resident caps have also been tightened, especially for international students and foreign workers.

02:34By 2026, their share must stay below 5% of the national population.

02:41Moving on to tightening rules for study permits and work visas.

02:45The 2025 cap on study permit applications is 550,000 down from 2024.

02:56Only 437,000 permits will be issued.

03:01PGWP eligibility is now limited to high-demand fields,

03:05and restrictions have increased on spousal open work permits and low-wage LMIA applications.

03:11Then, we examine the economic cost of fewer immigrants.

03:20Immigrants contribute billions in taxes, supporting healthcare and pensions.

03:24With fewer newcomers, Canada's tax base is shrinking,

03:28risking service cuts and economic slowdown,

03:31especially with an aging population averaging 41.6 years in age.

03:35Following that, we look at Canada's aging population crisis.

03:43With natural population growth now negative, immigration is vital.

03:49Reduced immigration threatens labour supply in critical sectors like healthcare and transport,

03:55leading to rising wages and consumer prices.

03:57Finally, we wrap up with the conclusion.

04:05While short-term immigration controls may ease housing or service pressures,

04:12long-term consequences could include labour shortages, slowed innovation and fiscal strain.

04:18Striking the right balance, welcoming quality, skilled immigrants,

04:24is essential to securing Canada's economic future.

04:28That's everything we had for you today.
