IRCC approach to immigration
New data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) shows 65,240 new student arrivals in 2026, up to the end of August.
This number represents a 26.5 per cent decrease compared with the January-to-August of 2025, and a 71 per cent decline from the 221,680 new arrivals in 2024.
The IRCC is focusing immigration on where it delivers the greatest impact — filling labour gaps, strengthening key sectors of the economy and supporting communities across the country. Our balanced and sustainable approach will support Canada’s own workforce, while attracting and keeping the world’s best talent with the skills and experience needed to grow the economy.
The 2026 - 2028 Immigration Levels Plan reduces arrival targets for new temporary residents and stabilizes targets for permanent resident admissions. We’re also introducing additional measures that will restore balance and control of the immigration system, while providing stability to those already living, working, and contributing to our country.
As part of the development of this plan, The IRCC consulted extensively with provinces and territories, a wide variety of stakeholders and partners, as well as other federal government departments.
