Canada has scaled back immigration targets as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau admits that his Liberal government failed to correctly measure the balance of migrants coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Trudeau's government initially allowed 500,000 new permanent residents into Canada in each of the next two years, but on Thursday, the prime minister said next year's target changed to 395,000 new permanent residents, followed by 380,000 in 2026 and 365,000 in 2027.
"In the tumultuous times as we emerged from the pandemic, between addressing labor needs and maintaining population growth, we didn't get the balance right," Trudeau said. "Immigration is essential for Canada's future, but it must be controlled and it must be sustainable." Canada's population climbed to 41 million in April. In 2019, the population was at 37.5 million.

Idiot.
41 million doesnt seem like much for the land size of Canada, but the vast majority of it reside in a few metro areas at the southernmost parts of Canada. The vast majority of Canada is pretty vacant of people in any decent quantities.
50% of Canadians live below parts of the U.S.!
Translation: they got the number of illegal aliens they wanted and now want to turn off the tap.
This is bs. Trudeau, Cuomo, Hochle, and others brought in more immigrants because they wanted to prove Trump was wrong. Now they're all suffering the consequences.
I've posted articles about Trudeau's self-imposed immigration debacle caused by Indians and Sikhs. Canada will be changed forever.
Yes, the bulk of their population is the travel distance from Windsor (across Detroit) to Toronto. It’s also where they grow a lot of their crops.
A couple of strategically placed nukes would wipe out half the population although it would leave intact most of the French side. Just saying.
Riddle me this — why is the USA also having problems with illegals coming in from Canada?
Firstly, how did these illegals bypass Mexico and end up in Canada?
Secondly, Canada has a more generous welfare system than the USA, why bother LEAVING Canada to come to the USA ?
If Trudeau was really sorry, he’d resign.

They should set immigration at Zero , Trudeau has brought in enough for the next 50 years
Because it’s cold up there? Asking for a friend.
The policy failed Canadians it was designed to, but Truedump profited greatly.
RE: Because it’s cold up there?
Then Why are many ending up in Minnesota?
The cost of housing (owning or renting) is totally insane.
Trudeau has crushed the dreams of millions of young Canadians.
Yep
The part next to Detroit, mainly
Most of the miggies in Canadah are on their way to the U.S. where the freebee benefits are more and bigger.
Bad at geography?
Sort of like apologizing for bad sex.
