In a recent interview by CTV, the New Housing Minister and former Immigration Minister Sean Fraser said placing a cap on international students was not a decision to be made by him but by different levels of government and partners as well as Canadian institutions.

He went further to buttress the point that his words in the previous announcement made might have been taken out of context as he is fond of responding to questions realistically.

In his words;

“Sometimes I have a bad habit of answering questions directly. Realistically, if you go back and watch the tape of my original answer, you’ll see that I indicated that it may be premature to do something like that because we need to have conversation with our partners first.”

It is not news that there is an ongoing housing crisis in Canada, however decisions have been taken on how to progressively handle the issue and these decisions do not include cutting down on the number of international students allowed into the country as it is the duty of the institutions and province these students are being admitted into to make accommodation and the necessary support available for their new intakes.

Nevertheless, it is no doubt that immigration remains one of the biggest factors of Canada’s global economy and according to the housing minister and former immigration minister, the immigration targets still stand. Update on the 2024-2026 immigration levels will be announced in November.

In a bid to tackle the ongoing housing crisis in Canada, the prime minister, Justin Trudeau on Thursday, September 14, 2023 announced a means of containing the issue and also controlling the current rise in the price of groceries.

The Minister stated the need to reduce housing cost by increasing the supply of rental accommodation and supporting small business owners, the federal government will encourage the construction of rental dwellings by presenting legislation to repeal the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on new apartment buildings for renters.

The rise in cost of groceries is alarming, the Prime Minister intends to have a meeting with the heads of Canada’s top grocery chains to work out strategies with the aim of restoring the grocery price and stabilising the prices of food items. All measures are being considered including tax measures.

In supporting small business owners, the federal government intends to make adjustments to the Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA) program by giving a 1-year extension for the term loan repayment, which was initially introduced during the pandemic to help small businesses stay in business.

Also provinces are encouraged to impose the provincial share of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) to match the federal government’s refund for new rental homes.

The Prime Minister reemphasized that this is a team effort, all measures have been brought to the table and will be acted on immediately and revisited if no visible development is made.
