Prime Minister Mark Carney says with Canada’s immigration system back under control, the question now is about when to begin a “controlled increase” of the country’s population.
Carney made the remark in a recent interview with the New York Times, just over a month before the government is required by law to release its immigration levels plan for the next three years.

The last three federal immigration plans focused on reducing the number of people coming to the country after a rapid post-pandemic population spike.
The government also started setting targets for annual temporary arrivals to reduce the number of short-term workers and students to five per cent of the population after they cracked seven per cent in October 2024.
The C.D. Howe Institute’s immigration targets council recommends the government continue to shrink the number of arrivals over the next three years.
That council includes several top academics who study immigration policy, a former deputy minister and former Alberta premier Jason Kenney.

Please, only needed people like medical and qualified trades people.
We don’t need any more people who can’t provide services we need. Plus all TEMPORARY foreign workers should be just that. Here for a specified time and then returned to their home land. Plus we have so many medical people who can’t work in healthcare because they can’t get approved soon enough.
The idea that Ben, and other retards, have such a weak understanding of maths and sciences and economics, is why I no longer support liberals.
You can not use immigrants that require additional social services to cover the cost of ever expanding socialism.
We need to blacklist commies and starve them out of society.
Well, employers will find themselves short on employees if they hire foreigners and TFW.
They will like lack any need of having employees at all.
End the Canadian worker genocide and stop supporting Liberals.
Great news. We need immigrants to pay for social programs, grow our economy, etc. because our birth rate is declining. Note this has nothing to do with the EU as some conspiracy theorists claim.
Not enough housing and jobs as it is but lets bare the burden of supporting more immigrants! Maybe if Canadians could afford to have children again …
Very cool, more imported votes for the liberal party.
Hopefully these immigrants can take the time away from their child brides to get to the polls!
Annnnd the other shoe drops…
We all knew that our “European “membership” would come with a cost, and quite predictably that cost is going to come in the form of immigration. All of the EU is struggling with violent deviants and they have nowhere to house them, until Carney the SAVIOR swoops in and sells out Canadians for a personal profit.
