Canada’s Immigration Strategy
The Immigration Levels Plan 2025–2027 signals a shift toward prioritizing applicants already residing in Canada. With a stronger “in-Canada focus,” this approach seeks to streamline procedures and laws for temporary residents aiming to become permanent residents. It aligns with broader immigration goals, such as addressing ongoing labour shortages, spurring economic growth, and promoting smoother integration into Canadian society.
This strategy is set to increase support for programs like the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) under Express Entry, benefiting international students, temporary foreign workers, and other temporary residents. With Canadian education or work experience as a key qualification, these applicants are well-positioned to quickly integrate into the workforce, supporting industries like healthcare, manufacturing, technology, and construction.

Canada’s immigration strategy highlights policies designed to assist temporary residents in transitioning to permanent residency. This approach particularly supports those already living and working in Canada, recognizing their contributions to the economy and community. By focusing on established residents, the plan aims to address labour shortages and promote smoother integration.
The 2025-2027 immigration plan seeks to expand programs like the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) under Express Entry. These initiatives will prioritize international students, temporary workers, and others with Canadian experience, offering them greater opportunities to secure permanent residency.
By emphasizing individuals with Canadian work or educational backgrounds, these programs ensure faster integration into the workforce and society. This strategy not only supports economic growth but also strengthens communities by retaining skilled and experienced residents.
