#FRANCEisON | Monthly CXO Rendez-Vous
Immigration in Canada: A Shifting Landscape
Recent announcements have highlighted a shift in Canada's immigration policies. Despite its longstanding reputation as a leader in inclusive immigration, the federal government is signaling a reduction in immigration targets, with discussions around scaling back programs in certain provinces, including the suspension of some pathways to permanent residency in Quebec. These changes reflect growing concerns over housing shortages, infrastructure capacity, and the pace of newcomer integration.
In this evolving context, the FCCCO welcomed David Crawford, Managing Partner at Fragomen, to shed light on the challenges and opportunities for businesses navigating global mobility and immigration in Canada and beyond.
