Canada’s immigration rate is 7X higher than the U.S. — now PM Carney wants to dial it back. Is it smart policy… or a step too far? Let’s unpack it. 🇨🇦🛑
Canada has long been praised for its open arms and progressive immigration policies — but are we hitting a breaking point?
📊 With 7.3% of the population made up of temporary residents (international students, foreign workers, and short-term visa holders), Canada’s intake is over 7 times higher per capita than the United States. 🇺🇸
Now, Prime Minister Mark Carney wants to bring that number down to under 5% by 2027 — citing overloaded hospitals, housing shortages, and strained city services as reasons for the shift.
But is this a necessary correction… or political overreaction?
🤔 Is this about protecting Canada’s future — or pulling up the ladder?
🎧 In this short episode, we dig into:
What temporary immigration really means 🇨🇦
How Canada compares to the U.S. on real numbers
What Carney’s new cap could actually change
And why some people are calling this xenophobic 🚨

Has Canada been too open, or is the rest of the world just lagging behind?
