Canada's 2026-28 Immigration Plan: Key Changes

Canada's 2026-28 Immigration Plan: Key Changes

Canada is making big changes to its immigration rules for 2026-2028.

They will let more people born abroad become citizens if their Canadian parents meet certain rules.

The country will also welcome fewer immigrants, including students and workers.

Some people already in Canada, like temporary workers and protected persons, can become permanent residents.

New rules will let immigration officials pause or cancel applications if needed.

Doctors and people with US H-1B visas will have easier ways to immigrate.

Student visas will be capped, and some programs for home care workers are paused.
