Canada’s immigration policy has become increasingly unpredictable, leaving many migrants, students, and workers in limbo. Despite welcoming about 480,000 new permanent residents in 2024, Canada faces criticism for shifting rules that make the process feel like a lottery.
The new category-based immigration system, which prioritizes certain occupations such as healthcare and engineering, often changes without notice, creating uncertainty for applicants.
Many international students and temporary foreign workers now struggle to secure permanent residency, even after years in Canada. Experts warn that constant policy shifts fuel frustration, fraud, and instability. For many, it’s no longer about merit but about being in the right place at the right time.
