Immigration is fundamental to Canada’s prosperity. That’s why in the Fall, through the 2025 to 2027 Immigration Levels Plan, I laid out and announced a comprehensive approach to immigration planning that’s aimed at supporting responsible population growth while balancing the challenges facing many communities in Canada.
Immigration is essential to our country’s economic success and growth. To meet the growing demand for housing, Canada needs a strong construction and skilled trades workforce, and immigrants play a vital role in fulfilling these needs.
The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, will hold a press conference to announce new measures to support Canada’s construction industry.
