The Canadian government will announce its immigration levels for 2027‑29 in November, aiming for a measured rise in population.
The federal cabinet of Canada is scheduled to finalize its immigration levels plan for the 2027‑2029 period in November. The upcoming policy framework will set the number of new permanent residents, temporary workers and international students allowed to enter the country each year.
Officials have indicated that the plan will prioritize a controlled increase in the nation’s population, balancing economic needs with social infrastructure capacity. The government aims to avoid a rapid surge while still meeting labour market demands.
The announcement is being closely watched by prospective immigrants, especially from Punjab, who view Canada as a preferred destination for education, employment and permanent residency. The new targets will shape the prospects of thousands of Punjabi families planning to move abroad in the coming years.
