 📉 Mark Carney’s Immigration Strategy Focuses on Talent 🇨🇦

A New Immigration Vision 🧭
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first mandate letter reveals a big shift in Canada’s immigration policy for 2025. His government will lower overall immigration levels while focusing on attracting top global talent, especially in key sectors like skilled trades and tech.

Why the Change? 🏘️
The new approach is linked to housing shortages, healthcare strain, and cost-of-living pressures. Immigration is now tied directly to Canada’s capacity to support newcomers, with a clear emphasis on economic contribution over volume.

Other Key Priorities ⚖️
The letter outlines six more government priorities, including housing affordability, national security, and productivity. Immigration connects to all of them — for example, by ensuring skilled workers help fix Canada’s housing crisis.

A Clear, Focused Message 📋
Carney’s letter avoids vague promises. It’s short, strategic, and demands measurable results from ministers. It shows a government focused on doing more with less.
