CBC News — How immigration cuts are affecting newcomers, businesses and communities on P.E.I.
The federal government has made sweeping changes to Canada’s immigration system as the country’s population continues to grow, reaching more than 41.5 million in October. Immigration has been a major factor in this growth, as concerns rise over so many people needing things like housing and health care. As part of a new immigration plan, Ottawa has cut the projected number of new permanent residents to 395,000 this year, an 18.5 per cent reduction from 2024. The target will drop further to 380,000 in 2026 and 365,000 in 2027, as the federal government aims for a 0.2 per cent population decline over the next two years.

City News — Ironworkers call for ‘immediate end’ to Temporary Foreign Worker program
Uncertainty and the threat of looming tariffs against Canada by U.S. President Donald Trump is putting Canadian jobs at risk, and the federal government should shelve its Temporary Foreign Worker program in favour of investing in Canadian skilled workers, a B.C. construction union says. Ironworkers Local 97 business manager Doug Parton said the union has been lobbying the federal government for years about shoring up the domestic skilled trades workforce. Parton said the union believes companies have been allowed to bring in temporary foreign workers as a “business model” that undercuts “wages for everyday Canadians.” https://toronto.citynews.ca/2025/03/08/ironworkers-call-for-immediate-end-to-temporary-foreign-worker-program/
