New Angus Reid Institute data reveal that while 52% of Canadians view the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) negatively, a majority believe the workers themselves are unfairly blamed for economic problems.
The survey finds 55% think Canada accepts too many TFWs, with most respondents citing negative impacts on housing, youth employment, and the labour market.
Support for providing TFWs a pathway to citizenship has declined from 36% to 30% over the past year, indicating growing resistance despite recognition that government policies, not workers, deserve scrutiny.

Canada’s immigration program for skilled Hong Kong residents is under heightened scrutiny after allegations surfaced of widespread ghostwriting and plagiarism in visa applications.
Reports indicate some applicants employed third-party writers and submitted plagiarized documents to gain an unfair advantage, raising concerns about the program’s integrity.
In response, Canadian authorities are increasing the use of plagiarism detection tools and implementing stricter verification measures. Such fraudulent practices not only jeopardize individual applications but also threaten opportunities for genuine candidates.
Upholding transparency and fairness remains essential to preserving the credibility of Canada’s immigration process.

A new study from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) reports that 63% of immigrants who intended to work as nurses upon arrival between 2010 and 2020 secured nursing positions by 2021.
However, 25% were employed in lower-skilled health or non-health roles or were unemployed, highlighting ongoing challenges in workforce alignment.
Notably, pre-admission Canadian work experience has been shown to significantly improve employment outcomes in nursing. The study also reveals that 65% of immigrant nurses in 2021 had not originally planned to enter the profession, demonstrating the evolving nature of immigrant career pathways in Canada.

Canada's strategic immigration policy adjustments have resulted in a significant decrease of 235,070 in temporary resident arrivals between January and July 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.
Through the 2025-2027 Immigration Levels Plan, authorities have successfully reduced international student arrivals by 98,070 (58%) and temporary worker arrivals by 137,000 (51%), bringing the total temporary population closer to the sustainable 5% target.
These reductions have been achieved by implementing a 10% cap on international students and tightening work permit eligibility requirements, which helps alleviate pressures on housing and services while prioritizing the economic integration of existing residents.
