🇨🇦 IRCC’s 3-Year Roadmap: Focus on Key Talent
📉 Lower Targets, More Balance
Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab’s 2025-28 plan cuts permanent-resident goals to 395 k (2025), 380 k (2026) and 365 k (2027). Temporary residents will drop to 5 % of Canada’s population, easing pressure on housing and health care.
🔍 Focus on Key Talent
Express Entry will favour Canadian-experienced workers, Francophones, and jobs in health, education, trades, transport and STEM. New PGWP rules and spousal work-permit reviews align study and work paths with labour shortages.
💻 Digital Modernisation Ahead
A single online portal, AI-assisted triage and a new case-management system promise faster, clearer updates for applicants. Spending falls as digital tools replace paper and shorten processing.
🤝 Stronger Settlement Support
Three-year funding agreements will boost language training, job matching and tailored help for women, racialised groups and Francophone newcomers. Refugee targets stay firm, with faster private-sponsorship processing.
🚦 Temporary Caps, Clear Rules
Annual limits—305 k students, 82 k TFWP and scaled-down IMP entries—align arrivals with infrastructure capacity.
