Canada is reducing its immigration targets over the next few years, with planned permanent residency slots dropping from 500,000 to 365,000 by 2027. The cuts aim to ease housing shortages and infrastructure strain but could affect international students and foreign workers. These new restrictions will limit work permits and study visas.
Canada announced major changes to its immigration policies, reducing the number of both permanent and temporary residents it plans to accept in the coming years. This shift comes in response to growing concerns about housing shortages, pressure on social infrastructure, and shifting public sentiment on immigration. These policy changes could significantly impact Nepali students and workers, who form a growing segment of Canada’s international student population and workforce. With fewer opportunities for permanent residency and temporary visas, many aspiring Nepali immigrants may face increased challenges in securing their future in Canada.
