Canada just released its new Immigration Levels Plan for 2025-2027, and there’s a big shift: fewer spots for permanent and temporary residents.

In this video, we’ll unpack the updated numbers, explain what they mean for international students, and explore how these changes might impact your journey to Canada—whether you’re a prospective student, currently studying, or an international graduate.

Imagine completing a PhD after five or six years of rigorous study, reaching your mid-thirties, your province has no dedicated immigration stream for Master's and PhD graduates, meanwhile, others enjoy streamlined pathways in other provinces. You secure permanent job in the health sector in the ministry working for almost 2 years but despite the demand for your expertise, your occupation isn’t prioritized. Your taxes for seven years benefit illegal migrants, yet still don’t obtain permanent residency. Advocates shouting for deportation assume everyone here is fraudulent, but these policies seem to target genuine applicants rather than actual fraudsters. It's nonsensical.

Canada needs a country cap.

Right now the disparity between the top #1 immigrant nationality and the rest is way way too much.

~ work/study permits, 2024 : 49% of all permits
~ pr given, 2024 : 5x more than the 2nd highest nationality

The disparity is insane.
And it piles up every year btw, coz this has been going on for years.

A country cap solves this immediately.

Housing supply and public health care services are badly affected by too many immigrants and that is a fact. Bless everyone and all that but Canadians should not have to complete for a basic human right (a roof over their heads) with foreigners. This is becoming a huge issue for most Western Countries and we should not invite guests unless we can accommodate them.

We need to stop letting jn any immigrants for a year or two. Like seriously average house being 1mil in the gta is insane.

as an internatioanl student I fcking hate the immigration policy, i mean I came here to experience Canadian lifestyle, NOT indian nor chinese, I feel like i got scammed into Mumbai.

WORST decision ever made my life so far.

1. I actually like the new policies, in the sense that it will eliminate those who clearly have no realistic plans for their lives except to come to Canada and get rich.
2. It will also make sure that extensive research and a better plan is put together by people who want to take the step of getting to Canada.
3. I share your sentiments also. These policies should have come much earlier than they have now, it feels like a last-minute attempt to save face, not healthy for anyone.
4. It will force people particularly students to think outside the box when it comes to choosing a career for the labor market. There are many jobs out there that don't have great payouts but the opportunities to grow are a lot, but most often students prefer to sit in offices rather than go out and find a manual labor job as a first step to create that desirable job.

My humble opinions but I agree with the new policies, it shouldn't be too easy for undeserving people to take advantage of opportunities.
Great presentation by the way, I only look to you for anything Canada related and I know you'll grow even more, well done ❤💪

Install a fence around Brampton so that rest of the Canadians can live peacefully

No more immigration until CANADIANS are put first. I’m happy to share my country but we are overrun. Kids growing up cannot get jobs because we have international workers taking all the spots. We have international families buying all the businesses in cities and towns and making profits while we all suffer. It is not fair or okay that our housing market has reached its all time high. I should be able to support myself working FULL TIME HOURS and yet at any point I could lose my home if I lost my job.

It’s not fair to me or the workers if they can’t speak English well enough to understand what I’m ordering or saying to them in public settings. We should have done this long ago. We need stricter policies. Perhaps a new program that encourages applicants from other countries to pursue careers that need to be filled. nurses, doctors, pharmacists, etc. lessening the strain on the system and providing a better alternative to filling minimum wage positions and taking them from our younger generations.

Excellent report! You know more about journalism than 99% of so-called journalists in Canada & America.

[paulissar]

It's a myth that there is a labor shortage in Canada. There's a shortage in Healthcare & Construction and Trades people.

[HarmoniousMelodies]

You nailed every details about the immigration policies in this country. It’s why I despise that Trudeau for causing this big mess.

[huhujojo]

Things will change more drastically if this government falls sooner than October 2025 and with the conservatives coming hopefully they will make a more meaningful deep cut on this unsustainable and catastrophic program that is destroying Canada from its core.

Quota is needed for certain countries!!!

I know a college in Ontario that imported more than 30, 000 Indian "students" last year. We are talking about one college in one year. The situation is totally out-of-control. It is not immigration but an invasion!

[tapunan]

Please - the Canadian government is a moron. I know someone who is there on a tourist visa, working at a small store - and just got her tourist visa extended. Oh and that person is married and the husband went home coz he needed to take care of something back home. So to repeat - a couple came there, husband went home, wife found work, reached the end of the 6-month tourist visa limit and just got it extended. Saying something is different from actual doing something.

You're so good at journalism. You don't need to go to school. You will able to make a leaving with YT. Professional work. Congratulation!!!!

[kennethfallorina]

Great content as always! I also have the same thoughts about these changes, but it gets sad that they made it look like international students and TFWs had caused problems when everyone went through the proper process/steps to get here. I also hear some immigrants who are already PR or Citizens blaming newcomers, especially students. :(

[KarinaTravelWalks]

Thank you so much for this video! I’m watching from Prague, and it was incredibly interesting and informative. I discovered so many new places and helpful travel tips thanks to you. You’ve truly inspired me for future adventures! Can’t wait for your next uploads!❤

[ferozkhan]

Hopefully we'll see bigger cuts and it'll mean these students can go back home to live with their families. Win-Win for all of us.

[ifyouweremeforreal]

What blows my mind is that they didnt consider what if the 1 mill last year alone had kids?? And the ones before them had kids?? How can our economy not health care support that when us Canadians r already struggling??
