Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has launched its annual stakeholder consultations for the 2026-2028 Immigration Levels Plan, running from July 21 to August 17, 2025. Building on last year’s expanded approach, the government aims to reduce the non-permanent resident population to below 5% of Canada’s population by 2027, stabilize permanent resident admissions under 1% annually, and increase Francophone immigration outside Quebec to 12% by 2029. Stakeholders and the public are invited to provide feedback through an online survey to help shape Canada’s immigration strategy that balances economic needs with sustainable growth.
