Carney to Cut Canada Immigration from Record Peaks But Stay Above Historical Averages

Canada’s Liberal Party is preparing immigration reforms under Prime Minister Mark Carney that would reduce both temporary and permanent residency numbers from record highs while maintaining levels significantly above historical averages.

The reforms, part of Carney’s priorities for his new government, would cut temporary residents to below 5% of Canada’s population by 2027, down from current peaks approaching 8%, but still more than double historical levels of around 2%.

Data from Statistics Canada reveals Carney’s permanent residency targets, while reduced from recent peaks of 450,000-500,000 annually, would maintain levels substantially above historical norms.

Proposed targets of 390,000 (2025), 380,000 (2026), and 365,000 (2027) exceed the roughly 200,000-265,000 annual admissions Canada maintained through most of the 1990s and early 2000s, when the country’s population was smaller.

The temporary resident reduction, while substantial, would still keep levels way above the early 2000s.

According to Carney, these immigration caps “will remain in place until we’ve expanded housing, and we’ve reabsorbed the levels of immigration that have happened in our country (during the pandemic).”
