Canada Slashes Temporary Resident Numbers in 2026–2028 Immigration Overhaul
On 4 November 2025, the Canadian government unveiled its 2025 Federal Budget and Immigration Levels Plan for the years 2026 to 2028. The plan, detailed in a Tax Alert by Fragomen, aims to address pressures on housing, infrastructure, and public services.
The plan seeks to reduce the number of temporary resident admissions while keeping permanent resident targets at lower levels. This shift aims to ease the strain on local services and infrastructure. The government has cited concerns about housing affordability and the impact of high immigration levels on public services as key factors driving this change.
The Immigration Levels Plan for 2026 to 2028, released alongside the 2025 Federal Budget, signals a shift in Canada's immigration policy. The plan aims to balance the need for immigration with the pressures on housing and public services, setting the stage for a more measured approach in the coming years.
