Prime Minister Mark Carney has advocated for a "focused approach" to the temporary foreign worker program while addressing the Liberal caucus in Edmonton, emphasizing the need to target specific sectors and regions.

This stance comes as the government aims to reduce immigration rates to alleviate pressure on housing and social services. Meanwhile, former Immigration Minister Marc Miller has accused Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre of stirring "anti-immigrant sentiments" following Poilievre's recent claims that high immigration levels have contributed to youth unemployment and housing shortages.

The government plans to decrease non-permanent residents from 7% to 5% of the population by 2027.
