Canada is implementing measures to reduce the number of temporary residents admitted into the country due to factors like the high cost of living and strains on infrastructure and services. The government plans to set limits on temporary residents for the first time, aiming to decrease their population by 5% over the next three years. This move will impact international students, temporary workers, humanitarian program beneficiaries, and asylum seekers. The country is also focusing on aligning immigration planning with labor market needs and strengthening pathways to permanent residency. The changes are expected to affect Indian applicants significantly, as India is a top source of temporary foreign workers and international students for Canada.
