Diab says immigration plan about predictability, doing the 'right thing'
The plan would regularize up to 200,000 longtime temporary residents by 2027 while clearing a backlogged humanitarian residency stream, Diab says.
- On Thursday, Immigration Minister Lena Diab published a new levels plan targeting 380,000 permanent residents and 370,000 temporary residents, with a pledge to transition 200,000 longtime temporary residents to permanent status by 2027.
- Immigration has become a fraught political topic in Canada, with polls suggesting about half the population believes too many immigrants have come to Canada.
- Diab stated the plan aims to maintain system predictability while doing the "right thing" by clearing a backlogged humanitarian stream; most of the 200,000 individuals are already employed and housed.
- Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre released a video Sunday accusing the government of introducing a plan that will bring in more people, drive down wages, and increase rents.
- Following the minister's first public comments last week, The Canadian Press published this report on Nov. 9, 2026, detailing the government's immigration priorities.
