City News — More cuts to Canada’s immigration arrivals in 2026

Canada will welcome fewer permanent residents this year, as the federal government moves forward with changes and cuts to its immigration system. Ottawa is expected to admit 380,000 permanent residents, down roughly by 15,000 compared to 2025, when Canada was projected to admit 395,000 permanent residents. It’s a downward trend for Canada’s immigration numbers in recent years. This year’s intake is substantially lower than 2024, when the federal government admitted 483,640 permanent residents into the country.

The Globe and Mail — Canada likely to see more Venezuelan refugees, migrants if country further destabilizes, experts say Marie Woolf

Canada is likely to experience an influx of Venezuelans, including as asylum seekers, if the country slips into further instability after the forcing from office of Nicolás Maduro, experts in immigration and refugee policy are warning. Toronto immigration lawyer Randy Hahn urged Ottawa to prepare for a possible influx of refugees, saying “political, economic or humanitarian crises throughout the world can translate to a stress to Canada’s immigration system.” The economic and political instability in Venezuela over the last several years has already prompted the number of refugee claims from the country to increase significantly, Mr. Hahn added.

Francopresse — Immigration francophone : quand la culture favorise l’intégration et la rétention

Pour intégrer et retenir les personnes issues de l’immigration au sein des communautés francophones en situation minoritaire, des initiatives fleurissent pour promouvoir une approche artistique. La Fédération culturelle canadienne-française (FCCF) a lancé un projet pancanadien, « Culture d’entreprise », pour favoriser l’intégration et la rétention des personnes issues de l’immigration francophone. Comment? Grâce à la médiation culturelle. Autrement dit, la mise en relation entre les membres d’une entreprise et un ou une artiste pour mener à terme un projet artistique et « solidifier des liens entre les gens qui y participent », explique la présidente de la FCCF, Nancy Juneau.

CTV News — What to expect from Canada’s new immigration rules in 2026

Canada is set to tighten immigration rules and accept fewer new residents, students and temporary workers in 2026. The ongoing cuts are a major shift for the country, which had been boosting immigration levels for years. First introduced in late 2024 and updated again in November, the new caps and lower targets are meant to reduce Canada’s unemployment rate, address housing affordability and ease pressures on public services like healthcare. While Canada will continue slashing the number of new permanent and temporary residents it admits in 2026, new priorities could also give an edge to skilled workers, applicants who speak French and those who have Canadian experience.

The Globe and Mail — Ottawa reverses course on immigration programs for caregivers

The federal government is pausing an immigration stream that allows caregivers to settle permanently in the country, a departure from decades of dedicated pathways that granted permanent residency to those who look after the young and elderly. Starting in 2026, Ottawa is suspending the Home Care Worker Immigration pilot projects, saying that demand for the program far exceeded spaces available to grant applicants permanent residency. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada said in a statement to The Globe and Mail that it would focus on processing existing applications and has no plans to reopen the program – which has an annual intake cap of 5,500 people – in 2026.
