Canada’s new PM is capping immigration growth but calling out to skilled workers. This has implications for the economy, public services, and our national future.

Canada’s immigration policy is changing fast — and the world is watching. In this episode, we break down Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new immigration rules and what they mean for the future of immigration to Canada.

In his first major press conference since the Canada election, Carney introduced sweeping changes to Canada's immigration system. He announced plans to cap temporary residents, including international students in Canada, at 5% of the population by 2027 — a sharp drop from the current 7.3%.

At the same time, he called for a major push to attract skilled workers — electricians, nurses, mechanics, tech professionals — to help fuel economic growth. This is more than just a policy shift… it's a national transformation.

We cover how this new direction could reshape everything from Canada visa approvals to Canada immigration rules, the impact on study in Canada programs, and what it means for newcomers, public services, and long-term residents.

Whether you're already in Canada or planning on moving to Canada, this episode will help you understand the Canadian new immigration policy, the logic behind it, and who benefits from it most.

We also take a look at the $25 billion investment in housing, and how the launch of a potential new agency — Build Canada Homes — ties immigration to infrastructure, labor, and community needs.
