Recent federal immigration reforms have driven trader views on a potential 2026 population decline. The government's 2026-2028 Immigration Levels Plan cut permanent resident targets to 380,000 annually while sharply reducing new temporary resident arrivals, including students and workers, to under 385,000. Parliamentary Budget Officer projections show these changes producing net outflows of non-permanent residents that offset natural increase and permanent inflows, yielding flat or negative total population growth for the second straight year. Official Statistics Canada data already recorded a 0.2 percent year-over-year drop in the first quarter, the first such decline in decades. Traders appear to weigh these verified policy shifts and early demographic results as tilting the balance toward contraction by year-end.
