Carney suggests immigration increase is on the horizon in New York Times interview

Carney said immigration is back under control as the government weighs when to start a controlled population increase.

  • On Thursday, Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that Canada's immigration system is back under control, raising the question of when to begin a "controlled increase" of the country's population.
  • Previous federal immigration plans prioritized reducing arrivals following a rapid post-pandemic population spike, aiming to stabilize Canada's immigration system before considering future growth.
  • The Howe Institute's immigration targets council, including former Alberta premier Jason Kenney, recommends the government continue to shrink arrivals over the next three years.
  • Ottawa also set targets to reduce short-term workers and students to five per cent of the population, down from seven per cent reached in October 2024.
  • Carney discussed these potential shifts in a recent New York Times interview, just over a month before the government must release its legally required immigration levels plan for the next three years.
