Canada's immigration minister announced plans to set targets to reduce the number of new temporary residents in the country. This marks the first time Canada will be implementing such targets, with the aim of decreasing the current 6.2% of temporary residents to 5% over the next three years.
The decision comes in response to a significant increase in the influx of temporary residents each year, leading the minister to describe the country as being 'addicted' to temporary workers. The initial targets are expected to be established in September.
