📉 Most Canadians Still Say Immigration Levels Are Too High

Public Worries Continue After Immigration Cuts 🏘️
Even after Canada reduced immigration targets by nearly 100,000 for 2025, most Canadians still say the numbers are too high. A government survey found that 52% feel 395,000 newcomers is excessive, even after learning it’s 20% less than in 2024.

What’s Behind the Shift in Opinion? 💬
Concerns about housing, healthcare and public services are shaping how people view immigration. Canadians are now asking whether the country can support more newcomers, rather than focusing on who they are.

What’s the Government Doing? 🏛️
Ottawa is focusing more on granting permanent residence to people already in Canada. The new plan lowers targets to 395,000 in 2025, then down to 365,000 by 2027.

Mixed Feelings in Communities 🤝
While national concerns grow, nearly half of Canadians still say immigration benefits their local community – showing that public opinion remains divided.
