Welcome back, Temporary Foreign Workers!
People will likely get paywalled, but here’s the key info from the article:
>**Canada’s population declined by more than 100,000 people in 2025, marking the first annual decline in records that date back to the 1940s**, as the federal government tries to rein in the number of temporary residents in the country.
>**…The current population stands at 41,472,081 people.**
>**The decline is being driven by a continued exodus of temporary residents from the country**, a result of a series of measures introduced by Ottawa in 2024 and 2025 to curb the number of non-permanent residents in the country.
>…
>“We’re now fully in an era of normalization, with **population growth of around zero expected through 2027, before settling back to a baseline of just under one per cent,**” said Robert Kavcic, senior economist at Bank of Montreal in a Wednesday morning note.
>The Statscan data also showed a sharp **year-over-year decline of almost 20 per cent in the number of permanent resident admissions to Canada,** in line with a target established by the federal government to shrink inflows. Still, new permanent immigrants helped to mitigate the population decline caused by the drop in temporary residents.
The article also says the share of Canada’s population that are temporary residents is now 6.4%, down from a peak of 7.6% in October 2024. The government’s target is to bring that down further to 5% by the end of 2027.
When you are doing 150km/h for 5 hours and then you slow down to 130, you are still speeding.
The question is did we slow down enough?
The same people cheering this on are also the same people who expect to have a fully funded CPP when they retire
Good
Wake me up when rent reflects this
Rent is down and housing more affordable. That was mostly the point of doing the drop.
I will be first to admit I didn’t think this would ever be the case despite the proclamations.
Im genuinely surprised.
No plans to address unafforability, or any of the other societial issues keeping this generation from having kids. So how do they expect the population to increase in a few years without immigration…?
It went up so much over the past three years that a slight one year decline is still a very large increase over the decade.
Good.
No worries ! About 60 millions indians may come to Canada !! /s
Peter Thiel and Maple MAGA types are jumping in their seats seeing this!
And yet somehow noone can find a job
We should be taking advantage of the brain drain in the US as it’s the easiest integration and skill transfer.
That said, while I think fake refugees and asylum seekers exploited the system themselves, I’d argue with TFW it was Canadian businesses that were the culprits.
Good. Our infrastructure can’t keep up with constant population growth.
In fairness, it’s a reversal on ridiculous immigration policies the last few years. People who’s visas are expiring are expected to return home.
Good. I’m going to guess that population will stay flat as non-permanent residents continue to get booted out over the next couple years.
Carney is slowly fixing the mess.
Hooray
This is not a good thing, with the massive baby boomer generation draining healthcare, immigrants or higher taxes thats the choice.
As expected, and announced, last year. Very interesting, we all know it’ll reverse course sooner or later.
You idiots don’t realise this, but Canada has also reduced giving out visitor visas ( temporary resident visa) and are counting these as part of numbers reported.
Your life will not become better, only the numbers will, they are soon going to start using the Iran war as an excuse for our QOL going down the drain.
Mark my words.
Those are rookie numbers. Let’s 5x it
Common sense tells me that Canada will increase TFW and welcome more international students…🤔
