For permanent residents, Canada has a target of 485,000 new immigrants, increasing to 500,000 in both 2025 and 2026.
He's trying to reduce the percentage of people in Canada who are temporary immigrants from 7% to 5%. Meanwhile, that many permanent immigrants have entered the country over the next two years, not to mention the last 10. Something like 20% of the population of Canada, today, wasn't born in Canada.
Great job, guy...
I'd also point out that the "temporary foreign worker" program, created be his government, only exists to that employers can bypass minimum wage laws (that his government also wants to raise) by importing foreigners and paying them less. Not, say, bringing in extra help in industries that were booming, but to fill jobs that can't pay MW, like fruit picking, simply because his government set the price of labour so high that some jobs can no longer exist.
Of course, it immediately turned into a way for big corporations, like Tim Hortons, to import foreign workers when Canadians didn't want to work for what they were offering, thus driving down the pay of more jobs to minimum wage.
Finally, kudos to Marc Miller, who has taken the job of being the guy who will be blamed for the immigration crisis to deflect from Trudeau's own incompetence. What ever happened to Marco Mendicino, anyway?
