Event details
Canada’s latest federal budget signals a continued shift in immigration and settlement priorities with ripple effects expected across the immigrant-serving sector. While immigration has long been a cornerstone of Canada’s economic strategy, this budget introduces targeted cuts and program adjustments that will reshape the policy landscape in the months ahead.
Metropolis Special Advisor Corinne Prince (Former Director General at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) will analyze the budget’s key measures, including predicted reductions in international students, temporary foreign workers and adjustments to permanent pathways. Following her presentation, Metropolis President and CEO, Jack Jedwab will present new survey data on Canadians’ trust of immigrants, refugees and international students and how such opinions might affect the migration narrative
Join us for a data-informed, sector-focused discussion on navigating the new fiscal landscape and supporting immigrants and newcomers in a period of evolving federal priorities. For professionals in the immigrant-serving, policy, or academic sectors, this is a chance to move beyond the headlines and understand how fiscal decisions, data, and public opinion intersect to shape Canada’s evolving approach to migration and to prepare your organization for the road ahead.
