That’s the harsh reality. During Trudeau’s time, Canada saw a significant influx of newcomers, which put pressure on housing, the labour market, and healthcare. It’s normal for a country to tighten immigration for a few years; lower quotas naturally mean higher requirements. Coming on a study permit or a work permit doesn’t guarantee permanent residency. Once a temporary status expires, and if there’s no other legal pathway to stay, the person must leave Canada.

The cost is not the issue. How much is the damage keeping things going as they are now is the problem. CBSA data says not to much. It's just a side of the coin.

That is barely a reduction in the permanent resident quota at all. It’s still way too many to absorb. It should be at most a third of that.
