The new federal immigration targets were revealed Thursday and will maintain the number of temporary resident arrivals at 370,000 per year in each of 2027, 2028 and 2029, while the target for the number of permanent resident admissions would stay at the current level of 380,000 in each of those years.
One of the big-ticket measures accounted for in this upcoming budget is the productivity mega-deduction, which the government announced in September and has continued to highlight as a cornerstone of its investment policy.
The government is also renewing the Canada Strong Pass, which offers discounts on Via Rail travel and admission to museums and national parks, for another summer.
“Sovereignty means building a country where Canadian culture thrives, where Canadians see themselves in their stories, music, songs and movies,” the budget announces in the chapter about a “strong and united Canada.”
