Canada Immigration<\/a><\/span> Minister Marc Miller will launch his plan for Canada\u2019s immigration system as part of a Strategic Immigration Review to be presented on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced late Monday that Miller would unveil his review at 1.15pm on Tuesday at the World Skills Employment Centre in Ottawa.<\/p>\n

Miller had been expected to present his Immigration Levels Plan to parliament on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

It will be his first Immigration Levels Plan, after taking over the immigration file from Sean Fraser this year.<\/p>\n

Miller must decide whether to continue with plans to increase immigration pursued by the Liberal government since it was elected in 2015.<\/p>\n

Recent polls have shown that a slight majority of Canadians no longer support immigration increases, although newcomers are a key component of economic growth.<\/p>\n

However, immigrants are being blamed for causing a housing and cost of living crisis in Canada.<\/p>\n

Under its current 2023-2025 Immigration Levels Plan, Ottawa has set its immigration target for 2023 at 465,000 new permanent residents. The country is also to welcome 485,000 new permanent residents in 2024 and another 500,000 in 2025.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a total of 1.45 million immigrants that Canada\u2019s current immigration levels plan intends to welcome into the country during those three years.<\/p>\n

The latest figures from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), though, show Canada is already on track to welcome far more than its planned number of immigrants this year.<\/p>\n

During the first eight months of this year, Canada saw the arrival of 338,905 new permanent residents, putting the country on track to welcome 508,357 new permanent residents by the end of this year provided the level of immigration so far continues through to the end of 2023.<\/p>\n

That would be 9.3 per cent more than the current immigration level for this year of 465,000 new permanent residents.<\/p>\n

The tide of popular opinion on immigration, though, has changed in the past few months with a slim majority of Canadians now favouring lower immigration targets.<\/p>\n

A Nanos poll released in mid-September revealed 53 per cent of Canadians wanted fewer immigrants in 2023 than what is projected.<\/p>\n

That was a nearly 20-point increase in support for less immigration to Canada since this past March when only 34 per cent wanted less immigration.<\/p>\n
