Le Devoir — Le resserrement de l’immigration permanente crée de l’incertitude, selon des expertes
Le gouvernement Trudeau envoie un signal attendu du public avec la baisse de tous les types d’immigration annoncée jeudi, mais il crée aussi beaucoup d’incertitude, selon des expertes. Malgré cette diminution notable, le Canada reste un pays d’immigration, soulignent-elles, mais la pression sur les immigrants temporaires sera bien réelle. « C’est énorme, le nombre de personnes qui vont devoir partir : des centaines de milliers d’immigrants vont quitter le Canada si on veut vraiment arriver aux nouvelles cibles », affirme d’emblée Catherine Xhardez, politologue à l’Université de Montréal.
Global News — International students are being sexually exploited, trafficked, says Brampton mayor
International students are being sexually exploited and sex trafficked while studying in Canada, the mayor of Brampton, Ont. said on Wednesday. Speaking at a press conference, Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown said sexual exploitation and sex trafficking happens “in plain sight.” “Today, the City of Brampton is saying very clearly, we want to zone in on this cancer within our society and our country to combat human trafficking,” Brown said. The announcement marks the first time the issue has been formally acknowledged by any level of government despite student advocacy groups and local social services providers sounding the alarm for the last few years.
CTV News — Canada will cut its permanent immigration levels by at least 20 per cent
Canada will lower the number of permanent immigrants it allows into the country by at least 20 per cent from its previous target of 500,000, CTV News confirmed Wednesday. The decision comes as many Canadians face housing and affordability concerns, and the federal government has faced ongoing pressure to address the number of temporary and permanent residents coming to Canada. During a Liberal cabinet retreat in Halifax last August, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau signalled a possible reduction in permanent resident levels, a major policy reversal for the federal government.
CBC News — Federal government expected to announce reductions to immigration targets Thursday
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to announce reductions to immigration targets Thursday morning, according to CBC News sources.

Sources confirmed for CBC News numbers first reported by The National Post. The government is expected to cut the projected number of permanent residents from 485,000 this year to 395,000 in 2025, with further cuts to 380,000 in 2026 and 365,000 in 2027.

Radio-Canada — Ottawa abaissera considérablement ses cibles d’immigration permanente
Le gouvernement Trudeau, qui avait pour objectif d’accueillir 500 000 nouveaux résidents permanents en 2025 et en 2026, abaissera considérablement ses cibles. Il doit en faire l’annonce jeudi lors de la mise à jour de ses cibles pour les trois prochaines années. Radio-Canada a confirmé les renseignements d’abord rapportés par le National Post, qui font état d’une baisse de 21 % des seuils d’immigration permanente dès l’année prochaine par rapport à la cible initiale de 500 000 nouveaux immigrants permanents. Selon la nouvelle cible pour 2025, ce sont 90 000 immigrants permanents de moins qui entreront au pays l’année prochaine par rapport à la cible de 2024, qui est de 485 000 nouveaux résidents permanents.
