They always need immigrants. last few years they went overboard and doubled intake in 3 years creating chaos. Adjusting numbers downwards.

Canada relies on immigrants they just decreasing number temporary

I would say too many pale faced! Thank God they are decreasing in number. ?

70% decline in numbers from India, this will hit hard to Canadian education institutions

All these happened because of Indians. Canada needs to restrict the number of immigrants entering the country by nationality. Then the system will be justified

180 lakes is a shocking number. Not even a thousand.???

Number one rule: Canada has bathrooms for a reason. Keep your bodily functions to yourself. Nothing more repulsive than a family enjoying a day at the park being ruined becuz someone else wants to do what they do in their country in public. Of course, if that is your habit, we don’t want you here anyway. Just go back please. This is a civilized country.

It's not just the Government alone, The Universities, Colleges, Training Centres and their recruiting agents are all part of this legally organized crime. They all make money when the students are coming and the fact is these students know the education level in Canada won't help them get a decent job when they return back to their own country. The fact is International students from India are visible because they come in mass numbers. The International students from countries also come to study and they are also given PR's but is not visible due to their numbers. It's the Governments job to make sure and have it in written format that any International student coming for study has to go back and then reapply for a job if available. Also the Visitors, Parents or relatives should be dealt the same way.

If indian Govt equally collaborated then it means that lots of khalistani should be among these ones in large numbers

Yes, white people came to the new world and conquered the natives. For the next few hundred years they built western society as we know it. They were immigrants from different places, but they were mostly homogeniously white, and more importantly, they had commonality in their social norms, holidays, cultures, laws and religion. Mostly English, Irish, Scottish, French, German, polish, etc. -- they blended well and eventually created their own unique shared identities in Canada and United States. Things were stable and people were happy. Immigrants continued to flow, but in smaller numbers over greater lengths of time. This allowed time for integration, learning the common language, finding decent employment and housing, ect. Then Immigrants from vastly different cultures started arriving and in greater numbers, and greater rates... Job availability, housing, educational/medical services, travel infratructure could not keep pace with the sheer speed and amount of people flooding in. Therefore, everything and everyone suffered, and it isn't stopping.

He was going to ask him for his cell phone number - didn't they watch 'Arrival'? ?

I hope Conservatives can adjust the number closed to Zero immigration. We don’t need more Indian Scammers.

?? mark Miller is a tool his days are numbered they caused this mess now he's gonna fix it SMH this government is completely ? ? ? ? .......

These numbers are lies. Canada brought over 400 k in three months alone in the end of 2023.\nIt has be be at least a million a year. Just look around the town, city, wherever you live and tell me otherwise

So I believe Trudeau said the number of immigrants was raised post Covid to stimulate the economy and fill jobs, but didn't Canadians lose jobs during Covid and needed to get work themselves?

That magic number that Canadians would like to get to is ZERO. We've already taken in more than we're equipped to deal with and need a complete halt to further immigration. If your kitchen sink was overflowing, the first thing you would do would be to turn off the taps and then deal with the problem.

Immigration numbers too high, and diversify. Majority are coming from the same place.

It’s just typical that Mark Miller is passing the blame to the provinces, what a load of crap! \nHe will never admit his government was wreckless in their decision to increase immigration is such massive numbers in such a short time. He’s a disgrace!

****REDUCTION OF IMMIGRATION NUMBER IS NOT ENOUGH!! Vote for PEOPLES PARTY OF CANADA !!

One Justinder gets reelected, he will Jack up the numbers again and bring million of his beloved Indians and Pakistanis every year

That's not a big change of 100 thousand less. How about next year putting the number down to Zero!!! \nThere are too many now!! Not enough housing and they are stealing all the jobs away from Canadians born here. They get hired easily cause Trudeau puts incentives to employers to hire immigrants!! It's bullshit, I see Canadians born here on the street begging for money!!! Trudeau is destroying our economy!! It's our tax money he helps immigrants with!! Because he wants them to vote for him in the next election!!!

We need people understanding the term racist or racist. And a note on diversity to respect boundaries opinions And put the quota on each country and a criminal record check and not a pardon waiver. And a contract to obey laws stating from gun threats abuse or involvement in gangs, being polite and not getting in gangs n fights. No dui. Immigrants state in number that they are not aware of these things or are ignored that they lead to mistakes..

What a joke the government is going to reduce immigration numbers to 350000 and provinces are worried.. that’s still 35000 per province ?

Pathetic numbers. Stop all immigration and ban all illegals!

too late and reducing the number of immigrants will not patch the wound

Ive been struggling to find a job since June. Im perfectly suited for a number of jobs I applied for but the job market is completely overflooded. This country needs to learn how to look after its own ppl better!

Because we don't produce enough babies organically, we have to bring in more younger tax paying workers.\nA decade ago, 8 workers supported 1 retiree, and because we live longer, now the number is 9, and the trend started already.\n\nPlus, we cant grow with the same number of people.... It's not the best solution, but having a sector like housing or traffic suffer, is better than having the whole economy suffer.

Lol liberals need votes huh? Don't just cut it, butcher it and throw this mass immigration in the trash and let's get organic wholesome numbers that we can place all over Canada over time instead of this mass pool of people in our major city's, this is such a joke, immigration can be done correctly look at the UAE or Saudi Arabia, huge swaths of there population are foreign born and they handle this so well, crime is non existent in these nations, maybe its religious values/rules????? Something Canada lacks forsure, Canadian people lack gumption.

I'm pretty sure that the govt have done an immigration freeze before. Many applications were just halted and nothing happened for several months. This was a decade or so ago.\nBut yes if Stephen Harper was stupid enough to increase the immigration numbers then we know who to blame - the Conservatives!! \nSO DO NOT VOTE for the Conservatives. They just want money - Taxes. That is all. They will probably also increase the numbers again for more new taxes. \nRemember Conservatives = Trump. These people act like Trump. Greedy for Power and Money. This also means Doug Ford as well!! \nTrudeau should also have cut back these numbers ASAP during and after the Pandemic. Someone did not advise him very well at all. \nI do agree that Trudeau needs to do another freeze and not accept any new applications for at least 6 to 12 months, in order to process those applications already in the system.\nTrudeau then needs to severely cut the incoming numbers back to 200K like they used to be. And then keep it to that level!!

Because the Liberals are trying to reverse course on anything to reduce their terrible poling numbers. There should be 0 new immigrants until they fix the problems they caused!

At least the number is dropping a bit. I'll take it as Liberal vote buying to get moderate voters. Still, the drop isn't big enough, but it'll help. I've called for the number to drop back to 250,000 and frozen for 5 years for a while now. That position hasn't changed.

Targets are lower, its been proven targets are not even considered since the targets were about 500k when the real number was closer to 1 million, so this is just PR and I dont know why anyone even takes their word into consideration

Why? They are trying to pander to voters LOL. If they had their way they would double the numbers.

Many immigrants from India are not only causing problems for Khalistanis, but also they are taking the jobs of many Canadian-born IT specialists. The IT market is saturated with cheap and useless unexperienced Indians which means experienced (highly paid) Canadian-borns are out of jobs claiming EI (or other provincial unemployment benefits).\nExcellent move by Treudu! He also answered the wishes of Quebec's premier on reducing the number of immigrants.

If there isn’t enough housing for everyone already here then the number should be 0

Why? Because it was a non-plan and completely DETRIMENTAL to this country and PREDATORY to many of those immigrants who upon their expensive one way trip realized they are walking into a health care/education/infrastructure/housing/employment system that is woefully inadequate for meeting even the needs of the people who ARE ALREADY HERE. \ncriminals and clowns have been running this country into the ground.\n\nClaiming that massive immigration prevented a recession is admitting that you used immigration influx to fudge your otherwise dwindling, nose diving economic numbers.... MINISTER.

This guy, along with his party seem to be either really daft or absolutely just don't care about Canada. Their plan makes absolutely no sense! STOP/HALT/CLOSE Immigration.. not reducing the numbers that they increased 10 fold when they shouldn't have. LIBERALS TIME TO GO! I hope conservatives are ready to make the hard decisions and not squeeze Canadians to fix what Trudeau broke.

Zero should be the number until this country gets back on its feet.\nThis is digusting. \nCanada has been damaged forever by this reckless policy.\nThis government has zero respect for actual Canadians.

Even the lower number of 365000 per year needs to be questioned. What calculations are used to come up with this number?

FAKE NEWS FROM LIE-beral media - as usual!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nAs the Canadian economy is TANKING - and the number of people who want to come here MODESTLY SHRINKS......................LIE-berals are only cutting back immigration levels SLIGHTLY to reflect the rather lower numbers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nPretending to make strong cuts to immigration is merely the LIE-beral way of trying to FOOL THE GENERAL PUBLIC and win back a few lost votes as the next election looms ever closer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brutal. This guy believes his own lies, and the reporter is letting him try to spin a new narrative. This is a blatant attempt by the Liberals public relations to repair their image. \n\nNearly 1 million people are missing in the official population, largely due to expired visa holders remaining in Canada. There is a gross disparity on where immigrants are sourced from. \n\n2022 Canada’s total PR number accounted for by country:\n\nIndia (118, 095 immigrants) – 27%\nChina (31,815 immigrants) – 7.2%\nAfghanistan (23,735 immigrants) – 5.4%\nNigeria (22,085 immigrants) – 5.05%\nPhilippines (22,070 immigrants) – 5.04%\nFrance (14,145 immigrants) – 3.2%\nPakistan (11,585 immigrants) – 2.6%\nIran (11,105 immigrants) – 2.5%\nUnited States of America (10,400 immigrants) – 2.3%\nSyria (8,500 immigrants) – 1.9%

20% drop is still 80% too many. We cannot cope with the numbers that are already here. More, no matter how few, just makes the problem worse. No immigration until everyone is housed.

The cut is not enough. Now if the gov't could vet the applications with our security in mind. And they should stop BIRTH CITIZENSHIP. where foreign women fly into Canada at nine months pregnant and for $25,000 to a doctor they get a baby who is now a Canadian Citizen. The numbers are astronomical. A baby born of a non citizen should retain the citizenship of the mother. And no muslims they have said they will OUTBREED us to get their caliphate with shari law.

Canada is changing the numbers because they intentionally collapsed our immigration system. The Liberals are a complete dumpster fire

Why? Because the change will reduce the housing target by 426,000 homes needing to be built. The reduction is 25%. From that rationale, the Liberal government raised th3 number of houses that need to be built by 1.6 million homes??? Irresponsible to say the least.

On my cv should I put my country number?

cut immigration to match new housing, take Canadians needing house off the target numbers. that amounts to zero immigration.

For the last decade it’s been obvious we had too much immigration. And instead of slowing or stopping it. Our Government doubled down and increased the numbers. Will you vote this same Government back into power? I certainly will NOT!!!

I went to Seneca College and was classmates with a number of Indian students. The things some of them had to go through to get there was astonishing. I'm not surprised by this report at all.
