Canada's Immigration Slowdown Hits Indians Hardest

Canada's Immigration Slowdown Hits Indians Hardest

Canada has decided to slow down the number of people who can become permanent residents.

This change has affected Indian applicants the most.

In the first five months of this year, the number of Indians getting permanent residency dropped by nearly 25%.

This is because Indians have always made up a big part of Canada's permanent resident intake.

The Canadian government wants to make sure immigration is sustainable and focuses on people already living and working in Canada.

This is a big change from the past few years when the number of Indian permanent residents was growing quickly.
