    Canada's Immigration Cuts: Balancing Growth and Public Sentiment
    Sep 18 2025

    This episode discusses the Canadian federal government's significant reductions in immigration levels, aimed at slowing population growth amidst rising public concern. While the cuts propose a 20% decrease in permanent residency and a reduction of 500,000 temporary migrants annually, they come in response to the pressures on housing and healthcare resulting from a rapid population increase of over one million in just two years.
