Mark Carney, the leader of the Liberal Party since March 9, 2025, and a former central banker, is preparing to implement substantial changes to the nation’s immigration system while navigating escalating trade tensions with the United States. His comprehensive plan aims to address the challenges of rapid population growth by reducing temporary residents from 6.2% to 5% by 2027, implementing caps on international student permits, and strengthening the criteria for temporary foreign workers. This reform comes as Canada grapples with US tariffs imposed on March 4, with Carney’s economic expertise positioning him as a strong leader during uncertain times.
