The Carney administration has come under scrutiny for withholding critical immigration statistics since May, with the most recent data only covering until March.

After Conservative Immigration Critic Michelle Rempel-Garner publicly challenged this lack of transparency, government officials claimed the delay is part of efforts to improve data presentation.

Critics argue this represents a concerning pattern following significant immigration policy changes, including the 2022 expansion of the Temporary Foreign Workers program and increased permanent residency targets reaching 500,000 for 2025.

Officials maintain that data remains available upon request, but opposition voices fear this signals a shift toward presenting "heavily edited information" rather than raw statistics.
