Summary
Canada’s immigration numbers are plummeting—permanent residents down 20%, study permits 24%, asylum claims 35%—signaling a deliberate government pivot away from rapid growth. India’s drop alone accounts for nearly half the decline, hitting provinces like Ontario and BC hardest, while Quebec bucks the trend. New rules are tightening asylum access, not reducing need. The ripple effects? Slower population and labor growth, and a chill on global confidence in Canada as a destination.
