00:19and exacerbating the housing crisis and rental inflation, straining education, health care, and infrastructure,
00:26exposing immigration loopholes and visa mills, fueling underground rentals and labor exploitation,
00:35and revealing a clash between federal and provincial immigration planning.
00:40Watch till the end to unpack the full impact and learn what needs to change before it's too late.
00:56While headlines highlight nearly 800,000 arrivals in early 2025,
01:10Canada's actual population growth was just over 20,000.
01:14This sharp disconnect has left Canadians questioning the truth behind immigration statistics,
01:22housing shortages, and overwhelmed public services.
01:27Here's what's really happening behind the numbers.
01:33Don't forget to read the full version of this update on our website.

01:52Let's begin with non-permanent residents and population data.
01:57A closer look at who's entering Canada and how the numbers are climbing.
02:01Out of 800,000 newcomers, 685,400 were non-permanent residents.
02:13But nearly 746,511 of them left Canada shortly after,
02:20resulting in a net population increase of just 20,000, according to Statistics Canada.
02:26Next, we explore housing crisis and rental inflation.
02:42How immigration pressures are intensifying the housing shortage.
02:45Basement overcrowding, illegal sublets, and rental spikes up to 40% are linked directly to the housing demand from newcomers.
02:58One Brampton home illegally housed 28 students in six rooms.
03:03Then we move on to education, health care, and infrastructure strain, understanding the burden on essential services.
03:16School boards and hospitals rely on outdated core population estimates, often excluding non-permanent residents.
03:24The result?
03:26Overcrowded classrooms, emergency shelter shortages, and months-long doctor wait lists.
03:31Following that is immigration loopholes and visa mills, the grey areas in Canada's system that allow abuse.
03:44Loose regulations have allowed low-quality private colleges to admit thousands on study permits.
03:49Some institutions operate as visa mills, prioritizing tuition income over education.
03:54We then highlight underground rentals and labor exploitation.
04:01How vulnerable migrants are being taken advantage of.
04:07Many undocumented or overstaying workers end up in cash-only, uninsured jobs in construction and hospitality,
04:16further inflating housing demand and weakening wage standards.
04:20And finally, federal versus provincial immigration planning.
04:28The growing disconnect in Canada's immigration management.
04:34Provinces like Alberta are calling for more control.
04:37Premier Danielle Smith argues that local governments should assess economic value and capacity,
04:43not rely solely on federal quotas.
04:45Before we end, let's do the conclusion of today's video update.
04:57Canada's immigration challenges in 2025 stem from a revolving door system, poor coordination, and data blind spots.
05:06Addressing these issues requires smarter planning, stricter oversight, and a rebalanced federal-provincial approach.
