🇨🇦 Navigating Canada Express Entry in 2025

🗳️ A New Direction for Canada
Mark Carney is Canada’s new Prime Minister. He plans to make immigration more balanced by focusing on long-term integration and economic stability.

📉 Fewer Temporary Residents
Carney wants to reduce the number of temporary foreign workers and international students. His government will cap permits and hold schools more accountable.

👩‍💼 Rachel Bendayan Leads Immigration
Rachel Bendayan is the new immigration minister. She will focus on clear rules, support for French-speaking immigrants, and smoother PR pathways for people already living in Canada.

🏠 Housing and Jobs Come First
Carney says immigration must match Canada’s ability to offer housing, jobs, and services. His plan includes more local data reviews and better support for skilled workers.

📌 Bottom Line
Canada will stay open to newcomers — but with more focus on quality, fairness, and results.
