Canada reducing number of immigrants over next 3 years, Trudeau announces | FULL

Canada will reduce the number of new permanent residents to the country by 21 per cent by next year, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced on Thursday.

It’s part of a major series of changes to immigration targets that Trudeau says aims to freeze population growth.

“We’re announcing that we will reduce the number of immigrants we bring in over the next three years, which will result in a pause in the population growth over the next two years,” Trudeau told reporters Thursday. “We didn’t get the balance quite right," he added.

As reported by Global News on Wednesday, the federal government is reversing course on a plan to hold its immigration targets steady for 2026. According to the 2025–2027 Immigration Levels Plan, Canada will reduce the number of new permanent residents from 500,000 to 395,000 in 2025.

There needs to be a 100% pause until health care, education, employment and housing are able to support.

[niclejeune]

Full on pause is needed, that is not sufficient... Election now, enough of these half measures! He is unable to take a firm stance on any issue at all. Weak leader!

[hongpingmike]

this man is trying to fix a problem he created. utter failure. leave now

[Heather.-]

We need a complete pause for at least two years in order for Canadians to find jobs and places to live . As usual ndp/ libs do nothing 😢

[somethingsomething]

Too little too late.
We need a 90% pause if not a full pause.

[grandmufftwerkin]

Justin and his government now want to address problems that they've either caused or made worse.

Comedy

[MrBobbyBrown]

100% pause for 5 years to give Canada the chance at catching up. MINIMUM 5 years.

Watching this child try to save it's skin is pathetic.

Immagrants have cost Canadians millions if not over a billion. Migration needs to slow to a crawl. Canada needs Doctors, nurses, care workers, not tim hortons mc donalds or places like this. Our own young people don't even get an interview because the foriegn worker already has the job.

[willy]

close the doors so the government can catch up to the needs of Canadian citizens

[JabbaBy]

Absolute slap in the face to generational Canadian families who built this country.

[patrickcowan]

1.2 million people over three years. That's a lot of people. Imagine what that would offer to Canadian citizens if that number was zero. Less waits for doctors more housing. More jobs. This is insanity.

[JBrierley]

Not enough. Cut it entirely until housing, health care, and everything else can catch up with the existing levels.

Too many Punjabi Sikhs 👳🏽‍♂️👳🏻‍♂️👳🏼‍♂️ on welfare 💸💸💸

[TheValentine]

Too late... towels and friends are everywhere

[grandmufftwerkin]

Justin and his tiny caucus need to go away.

[MrJmpowers]

Government needs to reduce immigration far more than 20%. The amount of immigrants in Canada on E.I. Is staggering. The liberal government is an embarrassment!!

[grottu]

Integrate my butt, they making small india in every town they showing up. Too many. It's wrong that everyone coming here as a student or TEMPORARY worker feels entitled to stay forever. What's the point of giving temporary permits?

[joejoe-the-original]

14:48 People continue to be Canadian in everything except in is nuts.

[beaware]

Total mockery! Candadia is finished. Modi laughing his head off at easy to bully JT. What a mess. The stink this has produced!
