It’s part of a major series of changes to immigration targets that Trudeau says aims to freeze population growth. “We’re announcing that we will reduce the number of immigrants we bring in over the next three years, which will result in a pause in the population growth over the next two years,” Trudeau told reporters Thursday. “We didn’t get the balance quite right," he added As reported by Global News on Wednesday, the federal government is reversing course on a plan to hold its immigration targets steady for 2026.
