🇨🇦 Mark Carney
In New York Times Interview, PM Carney Suggests Immigration Increase Is on the Horizon - American Renaissance
What happened
Prime Minister Mark Carney indicated that Canada's immigration system is "back under control" and that the country's population growth through immigration is "the nature of Canada." He stated that the next question is when to begin a "controlled increase" in the population. The government's current immigration levels plan calls for 385,000 permanent resident admissions this year and 370,000 in both 2027 and 2028. Carney made the comments in an interview with the New York Times.
Why it matters
The potential increase in immigration may be significant for Canada's population growth, which has been a subject of discussion in recent years. Some may view this as a shift in the country's immigration policy, while others may see it as a continuation of existing plans. The government's immigration levels plan will be released in the coming months, providing more clarity on this issue.
