Of this, <strong>64%<\/strong> of PR admissions will be dedicated to <strong>economic immigration<\/strong>, an increase from the previous 59%.<\/p>\n<p>For <strong>2027<\/strong>, the provisional target for permanent residents will be <strong>380,000<\/strong>, up <strong>4%<\/strong> from the 2027 notional target of 365,000 outlined in the prior plan. The framework will also take into account \u201cindustries and regions affected by tariffs, along with the distinct needs of rural and remote communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Liberal minority government<\/strong>, led by <strong>Prime Minister Mark Carney<\/strong>, presented <strong>Budget 2025<\/strong> in Parliament on <strong>November 4, 2025<\/strong>. More details on Canada\u2019s immigration framework are expected when the <strong>Minister tables the 2025 Annual Report to Parliament on Immigration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Decline in Temporary Residence Targets<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The lower temporary resident targets for 2026 indicate a <strong>strategic policy shift<\/strong>, though not necessarily an immediate change in outcomes. Despite higher 2025 targets, actual admissions have been <strong>significantly below expectations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>From <strong>January to August 2025<\/strong>, Canada admitted just <strong>154,515 temporary foreign workers<\/strong> (42% of the annual target) and <strong>89,430 international students<\/strong> (29% of the target).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Prime Minister <strong>Carney<\/strong> has signaled upcoming reforms to the <strong>Temporary Foreign Worker Program<\/strong>, emphasizing a \u201cmore targeted approach focused on specific sectors and regional labor needs,\u201d as stated in a <strong>September 10, 2025<\/strong> address to the Liberal caucus in Edmonton.<\/p>\n<p>Budget 2025 does not specify how admissions will be divided between the <strong>TFWP<\/strong> and the <strong>International Mobility Program (IMP)<\/strong>. Historically, the <strong>IMP<\/strong> has accounted for the majority of work permits. For instance, in 2025, targets included <strong>285,750 under the IMP<\/strong> and <strong>82,000 under the TFWP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The new plan is expected to <strong>raise combined targets<\/strong> for 2026, with total worker admissions projected at <strong>230,000<\/strong>, up from the <strong>210,700<\/strong> outlined in last year\u2019s plan.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Permanent Residence Admissions Targets<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The upcoming plan proposes <strong>minimal revisions<\/strong> to PR admissions for 2026. The overall target will <strong>remain at 380,000<\/strong>, with the following distribution:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Economic class:<\/strong> 239,800 (up from 229,750)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Family reunification:<\/strong> 84,000 (down from 88,000)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Refugee and humanitarian:<\/strong> 56,200 (down from 62,250)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Understanding the Immigration Levels Plan<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>Immigration Levels Plan<\/strong> outlines <strong>three-year admission goals<\/strong> for both temporary and permanent residents. While the first-year targets are confirmed, those for the subsequent two years are provisional and may change.<\/p>\n<p>Last year\u2019s plan was the first to introduce <strong>temporary resident admission targets<\/strong> and to reduce <strong>permanent resident targets by 20%<\/strong>, from the earlier 500,000 per year.<\/p>\n<p>Under the upcoming plan, the projected <strong>top-level PR targets<\/strong> will be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>2027:<\/strong> 380,000 (up from 365,000)<\/li>\n<li><strong>2028:<\/strong> 380,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For <strong>temporary residents<\/strong>, the indicative targets for both 2027 and 2028 will be <strong>370,000 annually<\/strong>, including <strong>220,000 foreign workers<\/strong> and <strong>150,000 international students<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This represents a <strong>significant reduction<\/strong> from the prior plan\u2019s figures (516,600 for 2026 and 237,700 for 2027), primarily due to lower <strong>international student intake<\/strong> targets, which had previously been set at <strong>305,900<\/strong> per year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #e71414; padding: 0px 10px; text-align: center;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #fff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.immigrationxperts.com\/canada-immigration\/67-canada-immigration-point-system\/\">Check Your Skilled Assessment &amp; Eligibility<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Stay updated on Canada\u2019s latest immigration programs \u2014 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.immigrationxperts.com\/updates\/\">subscribe to our newsletter<\/a><\/strong> for expert insights!<\/p>\n<p>Ready to transition from a work permit to PR?
