Canada’s Immigration Targets 2025–2027: What They Mean for Students and Workers

Every year, Canada releases its Immigration Levels Plan, outlining how many newcomers will be welcomed. The latest plan for 2025–2027 is ambitious and has big implications for international students and foreign workers.

Highlights of the Immigration Plan

• A focus on skilled workers through Express Entry and PNPs.
• Continued pathways for international students transitioning to PR.
• Business and innovation streams expected to expand.

Impact on International Students

• Opportunities to gain work experience after graduation remain strong.
• PGWP (Post-Graduation Work Permit) continues to be a key stepping stone to PR.
• Some provinces are prioritizing international graduates in their nomination draws.

Impact on Foreign Workers

Temporary Foreign Workers (TFWs) in high-demand industries like healthcare, construction, and technology have strong chances to transition to PR.

LMIA-based work permits still play an important role, especially for employers facing labour shortages.

Conclusion: Canada’s immigration targets show a long-term commitment to skilled newcomers, students, and workers. Planning ahead and applying through the right stream will be key to success.
