Earlier this year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada announced a reduction in the number of temporary residents – from 6.5 per cent of Canada’s total population to 5 per cent by 2026. Increase in quantity. We’re reforming the international student program, tightening eligibility requirements for temporary foreign workers, toughening employer compliance and making labor market impact assessments more stringent to reduce fraud, among other things.

To ensure the temporary residents we welcome to Canada are adequately supported, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Marc Miller today announced additional measures to manage temporary resident arrivals and maintain the integrity of our immigration system and protect vulnerable people.
