Canada's population contracted sharply in 2025 after federal policy changes reduced permanent resident targets and capped temporary resident inflows, producing the first annual decline on record and multiple quarters of record quarterly drops exceeding 100,000. The 2026–2028 Immigration Levels Plan maintains lower temporary resident arrivals at 385,000 for 2026 while stabilizing permanent admissions near 380,000, with the Parliamentary Budget Officer projecting flat overall population growth for the year as net outflows of non-permanent residents moderate. These measures follow the peak non-permanent resident share above 7 percent in 2024 and aim to bring it below 5 percent by end-2027. Trader consensus that any 2026 contraction will not exceed prior peaks reflects the shift from rapid 2025 adjustment toward stabilization under current targets.
