Thank you for the question. To provide some context, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada takes into account the following factors when developing the immigration levels plan: priorities and objectives for immigration, including those set out in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act; economic and regional needs; international obligations and commitments; processing capacity; and the capacity to settle, integrate and retain newcomers. I believe the government consulted stakeholders, organizations, the provincial and territorial governments and Canadians on the best course of action when developing the 2025–2027 Immigration Levels Plan.

Thank you for the question. I don’t have a specific answer to your question, except for the fact that, these days, it’s quite obvious that the government is still in the process of consulting and reviewing the immigration targets based on all of the factors that I listed.
