How Will Canada Meet Its Reduced Immigration Targets and Who Will Be Most Affected?
In October 2024, the Government of Canada lowered its permanent immigration targets from 500,000 to 395,000 in 2025, declining further to 365,000 by 2027. While headlines have focused on whether Ottawa can hit these numbers, far less attention has been paid to how the government plans to get there - and the impact on immigrants, communities, and service providers.
This webinar will provide an in-depth analysis of the first two quarters of 2025 (January-June), comparing admissions with the same period in 2024. We’ll look closely at:
- Changes across immigrant categories (economic, family, refugees, etc.)
- Regional distribution and which provinces may feel the greatest impact
- Shifts in source countries and international trends
For those working in the immigrant-serving sector, this is an opportunity to get beyond the headlines and understand the emerging patterns shaping Canada’s future admissions. The discussion will highlight what these shifts could mean for service delivery, planning, and the communities you support.
Don’t miss this webinar that brings clarity to one of the most important policy issues facing our sector today.
