Overview and context
Every year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) engages with a wide range of stakeholders and partners from across the country to help us shape Canada’s next Immigration Levels Plan.
Traditionally, the Immigration Levels Plan focused on how many permanent residents would be admitted to Canada in a given year, and set targets for overall admissions per immigration category. Last year, we expanded that scope by including targets for temporary resident arrivals of students and workers.
We built on that new approach while planning for this year’s immigration levels. Our efforts were also guided by the Government of Canada’s commitments to:
- lower the non-permanent resident population to less than 5% of Canada’s population by the end of 2027
- stabilize permanent resident admissions at less than 1% of Canada’s population annually beyond 2027, and
- establish a 12% target for Francophone immigration outside of Quebec by 2029 to promote the vitality of Francophone communities.
How we engaged on the 2026–2028 Immigration Levels Plan
To inform the 2026–2028 Immigration Levels Plan, IRCC engaged with stakeholders and partners across Canada who work in areas closely tied to immigration. This engagement took place over several months prior to finalizing the plan.
Between July 21 and August 17, 2025, a total of 8,513 stakeholders and partners were invited by email to participate in an online survey (PDF, 0.3 MB) – an increase of 25% from the 6,772 invited in 2024. We received 840 survey responses completed on behalf of stakeholder and partner organizations such as academic and educational institutions, businesses, chambers of commerce, Francophone organizations, labour unions, non-profits, and settlement and resettlement agencies. In addition to completing the online survey, some organizations also provided written submissions.
To broaden participation, we also launched a dedicated webpage with background information and an opportunity for the public to complete the online survey. This resulted in 18,135 responses from individuals – an increase of 400% from 3,626 the previous year.
Moreover, IRCC held thematic conversations with a number of stakeholders and partners to explore key elements of the upcoming Immigration Levels Plan. Participants included urban planners, municipalities involved in welcoming newcomers, economists from Canadian banks, small and medium-sized businesses, Francophone organizations, as well as experts who shared insights on how Canada can strategically attract global talent.
IRCC also consulted with provinces and territories, as required under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA). This collaboration is guided by a jointly developed framework and includes ongoing engagement through a dedicated working group of the Forum of Ministers Responsible for Immigration (FMRI).
About this report
The findings summarized in this report only reflect the views of those who participated in this engagement process between June and September 2025. IRCC’s engagement with provinces and territories, as well as analysis of public opinion research, labour market information and immigrant outcomes are not part of this report.
This engagement was designed to be open to all interested organizations and individuals. Consequently, the results presented in this report are not considered statistically representative, and cannot be projected to the Canadian population.
When analyzing data from survey responses, we’ve rounded percentages to whole numbers. As a result, totals may not add up to 100. Respondents were asked to identify whether they were completing the survey on behalf of an organization, or as an individual. Responses from individuals therefore reflect input from members of the public, as well as those affiliated with organizations but not answering on behalf of their organization. Data tables for quantitative survey responses are included in Annex A.
For this report, we used Microsoft Copilot to help compile and synthesize data collected through submissions from our engagement process. Any personal identifiers, such as names of individuals or company names, were removed prior to their use.

What we heard
Public interest in immigration levels – both in terms of the number of newcomers and the balance across immigration streams – remains high. This year’s engagement process further underscored that interest, with a record number of responses received by the department.
Recurring themes from this year’s engagement process highlight a strong desire for immigration policy that is both responsive and stable. There appears to be a general consensus from organizations involved in immigration and communities that serve immigrants and non-immigrants, that immigrant selection must be strategic and targeted to ensure it contributes to building a stronger economy while also protecting the quality of life and access to services for those already in Canada.
Stakeholders and partners consistently emphasized the need for better alignment between immigration planning and Canada’s economic needs, particularly in attracting and retaining talent. There was widespread support for maintaining stability and predictability in immigration levels to avoid unintended economic disruptions. Enhanced data collection and sharing were also identified as critical tools to foster collaboration across sectors and jurisdictions.
Participants underscored the importance of recognizing regional and local realities, noting that a one-size-fits-all approach is insufficient to address the diverse needs of communities across the country. A clear understanding of labour market demands and skills shortages was seen as essential to shaping effective immigration pathways. At the same time, concerns were raised about Canada’s absorptive capacity – especially in relation to housing, infrastructure, and health care – which many felt must be addressed to ensure successful integration and long-term sustainability.
Key findings
Survey responsesFootnote 1
Who we heard from
To better understand the perspectives shared, we first asked participants whether they were responding as individuals or on behalf of an organization. Those representing organizations were asked about their sector, region, and communities served, while individuals provided information about their province or territory, community size, and language spoken most often at home.
Organizations
Top 3 organization types were not-for-profit, charitable and non-government organizations (27%), educational institutions (23%) and businesses (22%).
Top 3 sectors were education and training (38%), social services (22%) and accommodation, hospitality and food services (14%).
Organizations that responded to the survey operate mainly in Ontario (31%), British Columbia (22%) and Alberta (13%).
Individuals
Almost three quarters (72%) of individuals who responded to the survey live in large urban centres with a population of 100,000 and over.
The vast majority of individuals indicated speaking English most often at home (85%), while 6% indicated speaking French.
Individuals who responded to the survey are mainly based in Ontario (47%), British Columbia (18%) and Alberta (13%).
Planning immigration levels
To inform immigration levels planning, we asked participants for their views on the number of temporary workers and students announced in the current 2025–2027 Immigration Levels Plan. First, we asked whether the 2026 targets for temporary workers, students, and the combined total represented too many, too few, or about the right number. We then asked for their views on the notional 2027 target and whether levels should increase, stabilize, or decrease beyond 2027.
Temporary resident levels
When asked about temporary resident levels, half of organizations considered the 2026 target to be “about right,” and a quarter believed the target was too low. Looking ahead to 2027, nearly half said the number was appropriate, and a quarter even suggested it should be higher.
In contrast, individuals who responded were more likely to feel that targets for 2026 and 2027 were too high – with over 80% of respondents indicating that those targets represented “too many” temporary residents.
When asked about future direction beyond 2027, individuals leaned heavily towards decreasing temporary resident levels (83%), while organizations opted for stabilization (39%) or modest growth (25%). If increases were to occur, both groups prioritized foreign workers over international students. Conversely, if reductions are necessary, individuals were more inclined to reduce foreign worker admissions, while organizations showed a more even split between workers and students.
Permanent resident levels
When asked about permanent resident levels, over half of organizations advocated for an increase, indicating that the 2026 target included “too few” permanent residents, while a quarter felt it was “about right”. Organizations also largely supported an increased number for the 2027 target, with 59% saying it represented “too few” permanent residents, and roughly a quarter saying the target was “about right”.
More individuals – over 75% – felt the 2026 and 2027 targets were too high.
Beyond 2027, organizations showed strong support for growth, with 60% favouring increased permanent resident levels. In contrast, 75% of individuals preferred a decrease.
When asked which immigration classes should be prioritized if levels rise, both groups overwhelmingly support increasing economic class immigrants. In the case of reductions, both groups leaned towards decreasing refugees, protected persons, and persons in Canada on humanitarian grounds.
Supporting immigrants and communities in Canada
We asked respondents to identify the most important areas for investment to support immigration in their region, such as housing, health care, and infrastructure. We also asked which services would be most useful to newcomers, and what additional investments might be needed.
To support immigration in their regions, both organizations and individuals agreed on the importance of investing in housing and health care services, ranking them as the top priorities. For organizations, post-secondary education and skills training was the third top priority, while individuals prioritized public infrastructure.
When it comes to helping newcomers integrate, language training, employment support, and foreign credential recognition were seen as the most valuable services. Organizations and individuals alike emphasized the need for clear, accessible information and support navigating government and community services.
Francophone immigration
For Francophone immigration, we asked which measures would best support increased admissions of French-speaking immigrants outside Quebec.
There was broad recognition of the importance of enhancing Francophone immigration outside Quebec. Both organizations and individuals prioritized connecting French-speaking newcomers with job opportunities in Francophone minority communities. Optimizing settlement services and improving selection methods for bilingual immigrants were also seen as critical steps.
While organizations placed more emphasis on facilitating transitions to permanent residence for French-speaking temporary residents, individuals were more focused on better ways of selecting French-speaking immigrants and offering them settlement support.
Addressing systemic barriers and supporting diversity, equity and inclusion
We asked participants where they see opportunities to improve equitable access to immigration programs and address systemic barriers such as racism, sexism, and ableism.
Many organizations highlighted the need for streamlined and fair recognition of foreign credentials as a key step towards improving equitable access to opportunities for newcomers. Concerns were also raised about persistent discrimination, with calls for more accessible language training, enhanced support services in rural and remote areas, and tailored programming for refugees, 2SLGBTQI+ individuals, women, and persons with disabilities. Limitations to closed work permits and the lack of clear pathways to permanent residence were also identified as barriers that disproportionately affect vulnerable populations.
Individual respondents offered a range of perspectives. Some expressed concern about the overrepresentation of immigrants from specific countries and proposed country caps to promote a more balanced intake. Others emphasized the importance of prioritizing qualifications – such as skills, education, and language proficiency – arguing that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies should complement merit-based selection criteria. Additional suggestions for improvement included streamlining foreign credential recognition processes, increasing transparency through the publication of disaggregated data, mandating anti-bias and cultural competency training, launching public awareness campaigns to combat discrimination, and ensuring meaningful inclusion of racialized individuals, refugees, immigrants, and Indigenous voices in policy development.
Learning from the process
Survey respondents were asked a series of questions about their experience engaging with IRCC on immigration levels planning. When asked to identify the most effective ways for the department to engage with them, email and online surveys remain at the top of the list.
Many respondents appreciated that the survey was inclusive of both organizational and individual perspectives. Many found it to be easy to fill out and liked the online format. Others welcomed the open-ended questions that allowed them to elaborate on their views. Several participants noted that the wording of some questions appeared biased and suggested improvements to ensure neutrality. Others voiced the need for greater transparency regarding how their input informs decision-making.
When asked for recommendations to enhance future engagement, both individuals and organizations expressed a desire for more frequent exchanges and opportunities to engage with IRCC on immigration matters, specifically through in-person and virtual discussions, roundtables, and town halls.
IRCC regularly conducts public opinion research surveys to learn about the views and preferences of representative samples of randomly-selected Canadian adults, including the general population, newcomers, Canadians in rural communities, Francophones living outside Quebec, and Indigenous Peoples.
In a November 2024 public opinion research survey conducted by the department by telephone with a random sample of Canadian adults, a modest majority of respondents (54%) indicated that too many immigrants were coming to Canada. Additionally, 52% felt the 2025 target was too high, while only 5% believed it was too low. When informed that the target was 20% lower than the previous year, nearly half still felt it was too high.
IRCC’s public opinion research complements the perspectives gathered through engagement activities, and both are used to help shape immigration policies, programs, and services to better reflect the needs and views of diverse communities across Canada.
Additional input from written submissions
Written submissions provided a rich layer of qualitative feedback that complemented responses received. Many contributors emphasized the need to avoid abrupt changes that could destabilize the economy or disrupt labour markets. A recurring theme was the importance of whole-of-government coordination, with organizations urging better alignment across federal departments to ensure coherent and responsive immigration policy.
Multiple post-secondary institutions advocated for measures to protect the flow of international graduate students. These institutions recommended exemptions from study permit caps and, in some cases, from Provincial Attestation Letters (PALs) or Territorial Attestation Letters (TALs). They also called for faster study permit processing and proposed the adoption of a recognized institutions framework and a distinctions-based approach to better reflect institutional performance and student outcomes. Improved access to immigration-related data was also flagged as a critical need. To support a stable, future-focused system, some emphasized the importance of creating clear, coordinated, predictable, and sustainable pathways from temporary to permanent status – prioritizing permanent residency as a foundational element.
Submissions focused on global talent stressed the urgency of aligning immigration policy with Canada’s national priorities in fields such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and digital transformation. Contributors from the tech sector highlighted the importance of targeted programs like the Global Talent Stream, and called for deeper collaboration between immigration authorities and industry to ensure Canada remains competitive in attracting top talent. Input from engagement with small and medium-sized businesses echoed these concerns, identifying construction, personal services, and professional services as sectors in high need of skilled labour. They also advocated for greater alignment between foreign workers’ skills and local labour needs to help address ongoing labour shortages and better support temporary residents’ integration into Canadian society.
Some contributors with expertise in the field of economics also stressed the importance of not underestimating the economic and social value of permanent residents already living in Canada, especially those with prior work or study experience, who consistently earn more and integrate faster than newcomers from abroad. To maintain current immigration outcomes and avoid compounding housing and service pressures, they suggested that the Immigration Levels Plan should prioritize in-Canada applicants and more accurately account for the population of non-permanent residents.
From the settlement, integration, and humanitarian sectors, concerns were raised about the growing number of undocumented individuals. These submissions urged the government to reverse recent cuts to humanitarian programs, set the Government Assisted Refugees (GAR) target at 0.25% of the population, and ensure that affordable housing supports are available across regions to facilitate successful integration. Contributors also called for equitable recognition of the impacts of privately sponsored refugees by restoring processing timelines, reducing inventory, and ensuring that private sponsorship complements – rather than replaces – government obligations.
Some contributions from the agriculture sector emphasized the importance of workforce stability, ethical recruitment, and long-term planning. Recommendations included reinstating and expanding permanent residency pathways – such as the Agri-Food Immigration Pilot – improving housing and wage policies, maintain existing exemptions, and recognizing permanent, full-time roles within the sector beyond seasonal positions.
The unique experiences of French-speaking immigrants and the vital role Francophone immigration plays in enhancing the vitality of Francophone minority communities were highlighted. Strengthening promotion and awareness campaigns, supporting institutions and organizations within minority communities, and ensuring conducive conditions for settlement, integration, and retention were identified as key steps to improve outcomes for Francophone immigrants. In addition, targeted recruitment efforts could focus on attracting individuals from Francophile countries (such as Brazil, Mexico and Vietnam) to learn French in Canada prior to pursuing further studies, employment, and permanent residency – helping to reinforce long-term retention and integration.
Some key takeaways from thematic discussions
In addition to survey responses and written submissions, IRCC convened a series of thematic discussions with stakeholders and partners. The following summary highlights some of the key themes that emerged from these conversations.
Leveraging immigration for economic growth
- Participants emphasized that immigration is a vital tool to drive economic growth, attract global talent, and support Canada’s long-term sustainability.
- There was strong support for immigration strategies that target high-growth sectors such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, green technology, and advanced manufacturing.
- Participants also highlighted the need to address persistent labour shortages in construction, health care, agriculture, and engineering through tailored immigration pathways.
- The risk of immigration policy reacting to some public sentiment was raised, emphasizing how this could result in missed opportunities to attract exceptional talent that could support the economy.
- Some noted that transitioning temporary residents already living in Canada to permanent residents makes sense as they are already established, earn a higher median income, and are more likely to have advanced degrees and start new businesses. Concerns were also raised about how “economic” immigrants are counted, noting that the proportion is lower in practice once accompanying family members are factored in.
- There was recognition that immigration pathways are just one lever in attracting and retaining newcomers; quality-of-life and infrastructure (parks, community centers, transit) are also important factors beyond immigration policy and programs.
Building a more predictable and efficient immigration system
- Participants called for greater predictability in immigration planning to enable better forecasting, long-term investment, and economic resilience.
- There was broad support for faster processing times, clearer pathways to permanent residency, and more proactive international promotion of Canada’s economic immigration programs.
Aligning credentials with workforce needs
- A recurring issue was the view that there was a disconnect between immigration selection and professional licensing, especially in regulated fields such as health care and skilled trades.
- Participants recommended stronger coordination between federal departments, provinces and territories, and licensing bodies to ensure immigrants can work in their trained professions.
- Many emphasized the value of transitioning temporary residents to permanent status, citing their established ties, higher median incomes, and greater likelihood of entrepreneurship.
Planning infrastructure and increasing quality of life
- Participants noted that immigration increases demand for housing, public transit, and community infrastructure, and called for better coordination between immigration targets and infrastructure planning.
- Municipalities expressed concerns about misalignment between their long-term planning horizons and the federal immigration cycle, particularly in the context of humanitarian arrivals.
Enhancing data for better planning
- Participants raised concerns about data integrity and availability, particularly regarding undocumented populations.
- There were calls for improved alignment between IRCC and Statistics Canada data to support more accurate and responsive immigration planning.
Supporting international students and academic excellence
- Graduate students were recognized as key contributors to Canada’s innovation ecosystem.
- Participants expressed concern over recent policy changes, including study permit caps, which have led to enrollment declines in strategic fields.
- There was strong support for a distinctions-based approach that prioritizes top institutions and advanced degrees to reinforce Canada’s commitment to academic excellence and talent retention.
Tailoring immigration to regional and rural needs
- Organizations from smaller and remote communities stressed that housing and labour market challenges vary widely across Canada and must be reflected in immigration policy.
- Employers in rural areas highlighted their reliance on foreign workers and raised concerns about recent program cuts and restrictions that have affected recruitment and retention.
- Participants recommended region-specific pre-arrival guidance and improved integration supports to enhance newcomer retention.
- There were suggestions to consider sector-specific unemployment data when making immigration policy decisions.
Helping newcomers thrive in communities across Canada
- Immigration was viewed not only as a short-term solution but as a long-term strategy for economic development and community vitality.
- Employers emphasized the importance of supporting newcomers beyond employment, including access to housing, family services, and community-building initiatives.
- Participants called for increased investments in youth employment, mental health services, and school integration for young newcomers, especially in rural areas affected by centralized services and funding cuts.
Promoting public education and inclusive narratives
- Participants highlighted the importance of public education and narrative-building to counter misinformation and anti-immigrant sentiment.
- There were calls to actively promote the economic and social contributions of immigrants and to address misconceptions around temporary and permanent immigration.
- Participants stressed the need for inclusive programming, cultural education, and stronger municipal roles in integration efforts.
Advancing Francophone immigration outside Quebec
- Participants identified housing shortages and limited infrastructure capacity as key barriers to Francophone immigration, particularly in rural bilingual municipalities.
- Language challenges were noted as barriers to integration and employment, with fewer than 5% of prospective French-speaking immigrants possessing sufficient English proficiency.
- Recommendations included the creation of a dedicated Francophone economic immigration program, improved retention strategies, and stronger support from educational institutions and employers through mentorship, training, and credential recognition.
- The need for collaboration across all levels of government to strengthen Francophone immigration was highlighted, particularly in bilingual rural communities.
- Some suggestions put forward include collecting and sharing linguistic data on Francophone temporary residents by province and territory, developing English language learning programs for Francophone candidates before their arrival in Canada, collaborating with provinces and territories to set Francophone immigration targets in provincial nominee programs, and expanding the Francophone Community Immigration Pilot to other municipalities.
In your words
Some of the comments submitted by participants, edited for length and clarity:
“Predictability is really important, so I think the government is on the right track in terms of going back to more historic levels – it allows us to plan better. It tends to be the temporary resident component that can be more difficult to accommodate.”
“Across Canada, employer-focused and employer-based supports are critically needed to facilitate meaningful labour market integration. It is also imperative that more focus be put on bringing in newcomers – whether permanent or temporary – with the skills and competences to address Canada’s housing shortage and affordability crisis.”
“Supporting faster, more transparent foreign credential recognition – alongside job search assistance and access to mentorship – can significantly improve equitable access to meaningful employment. This not only enhances individual outcomes, but also strengthens Canada’s workforce and communities.”
“Support for Francophone community organizations, which play a key role in welcoming and integrating immigrants, must be significantly strengthened. These organizations are on the front lines, providing French-language services tailored to the needs of newcomers: guidance, training, employment support, community participation, etc.”
“Equity in immigration means more than arrival. It means creating conditions for all newcomers to thrive, contribute, and feel like they truly belong.”
“The application process must be made simpler and more accessible by providing clear and easily understandable information. This can help reduce barriers for individuals who do not have access to lawyers or immigration consultants.”
“As a country, we would certainly benefit from having high quality immigration data around permanent and non permanent residents, and being able to get that data on a consistent basis.”
“There is a huge opportunity here to attract top talent to Canada, but we need to seize this moment.”
“Canada’s immigration policies should prioritize and capitalize on the unique economic growth advantages offered by international students, who graduate with Canadian credentials and experience, local professional networks, and first-hand knowledge of Canadian workplace norms and factors that enable smooth labour market integration.”
“There’s a lot of opportunity in Canada around small and medium-sized cities where there is capacity to build, where there is affordability, and where you have labour force needs. I think Canada’s immigration policy needs to be more mindful of how we might spread the opportunities of immigration to small and medium-sized cities across the country, where the need for the immigration is greatest and where the capacity to accommodate is greatest.”
“I feel like we need to change the narrative with immigration, and say that we are not taking jobs away from anyone. We’re not overusing the immigration system – we are an employer using the system responsibly and wanting to bring in the right people. We want to help build the Canadian economy for the future.”
Thank you
We extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who contributed to this year’s engagement process – whether by completing the online survey, submitting written feedback, or participating in discussions. Your insights play a vital role in shaping Canada’s immigration planning.
We are committed to a continued whole-of-society, whole-of-government approach to immigration, and will continue to keep the lines of communication open.
