The Forum of Ministers Responsible for Immigration (FMRI) met today to discuss Canada’s immigration levels planning for 2025–2027.

The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, alongside his provincial and territorial counterparts, will be available to media following a meeting of the Forum of Ministers Responsible for Immigration.
Regional economic immigration programs support the sustainable growth and economic stability of our country, and contribute significantly to the cultural diversity and enrichment of Canada.
I want to start by acknowledging that we are gathering today from the traditional and unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg Nation.
