The Forum of Ministers Responsible for Immigration met to discuss the upcoming 2027–2029 Immigration Levels Plan. Ministers focused on returning immigration to sustainable levels while addressing regional labour shortages.
The Federal Government reiterated its plan to reduce the temporary population to less than 5 percent by late 2027. Provincial and territorial ministers emphasized that the Provincial Nominee Program is the best tool for local economic needs.
They requested larger allocations and steady funding for language training and settlement services. The ministers also agreed to work together to reduce barriers for foreign credential recognition, especially in healthcare.
