Immigration Shakeup: Big Changes Coming to Canada! - 2024/2025

Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservative Party, proposes reducing Canada's population growth by cutting immigration levels, citing concerns over the impact of recent immigration policies.

Summary
Pierre Poilievre criticizes the Liberal government, blaming them for damaging Canada's immigration system through excessive international student and temporary foreign worker programs.
He advocates for a smaller population growth rate tied to housing, healthcare, and job availability.
Poilievre proposes limiting the number of new immigrants and non-permanent residents, aiming to restore what he calls a previously stable consensus on immigration.
The Conservative plan involves reducing immigration numbers but lacks specific targets for permanent or non-permanent residents.
The Liberal government, in response, considers adjusting immigration levels amid concerns over rising unemployment rates among immigrants and youth.
Discussions are ongoing regarding potential changes to immigration policies to balance economic needs and integration challenges.

Pierre Poilievre says under a Conservative government, immigration will be “much lower, especially for temporary immigration.” He says it’s “impossible” to bring 1.2 million people into the country per year while only building 200,000 homes.

What are Pierre Poilievre's proposed metrics for tying Canada's population growth to housing starts?

Pierre Poilievre's proposed metrics for tying Canada's population growth to housing starts involve ensuring that the rate of population growth does not exceed the rate of new housing construction. He argues that the current approach has led to strains on infrastructure and services, contributing to housing affordability issues. Poilievre suggests aligning immigration policies with housing supply to better manage population growth's impact on housing availability, healthcare access, and job opportunities.
