Canada plans to set limits on the number of temporary residents it admits, including international students, temporary foreign workers, and asylum seekers, in response to rising costs of living and infrastructure challenges. The country aims to decrease its temporary resident population to 5% over the next three years and will include both temporary and permanent resident arrivals in its Immigration Levels Plan. The move is likely to impact Indian aspirants, as Canada has been a popular destination for Indian temporary workers and international students.

Canadian population reaches historic high due to record international migration.

Canada's population has increased by over a million people for the first time in history, with 96% of the rise due to international migration, according to Statistics Canada. The increase, which translates to a population growth rate of 2.7%, was driven by a surge in immigrants and temporary residents. Canada depends on immigration to drive its economy and support an aging population, and the government has been running special schemes to temporarily take in people impacted by crises. The Trudeau government aims to grant permanent residency to 465,000 people in 2023 and increase that goal to 500,000 people by 2025.
