The government aims to lower the proportion of temporary residents in the national population to 5% by the end of 2026 to ease the strain on infrastructure and support more sustainable population growth (IRCC, 2024a) .  \nTo achieve these goals, the government’s multi-year plan includes tighter caps on study permits, stricter eligibility for post-graduation work permits and sector-specific limits on temporary foreign worker approvals (IRCC, 2024a) . The government is also prioritizing permanent residency pathways for skilled temporary residents already in Canada, aiming to select more than 40% of permanent residents annually from among temporary residents (IRCC, 2024b) . These measures led to the combination of three approaches to reduce the stock of non-permanent residents (NPRs): limiting new inflows of NPRs, increasing transitions to permanent residency and restricting permit extension.  \nRecent administrative data reveal that reducing new entries alone may have limited short-term impact on the overall stock of NPRs. From 2023 to 2024, the number of newly issued study permits (including first-time permits and extensions) dropped by 24%, while the total stock of study permit holders at the end of the year declined by 4% . Likewise, for the International Mobility Program (IMP, work purposes), the number of permits issued declined by 6% between 2023 and 2024, while the year-end stock as of December 31 increased by 17% . For the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), permits issued rose by 4% over the same period, ","cbCaicca6tYCBcOQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicca6tYCBcOQ","pdf",500943,"English","# Overview\n## Policy context and objectives\n## Administrative trends and implications\n# Method and data\n## Stock-level approach (2018–2022)\n## Status categories and exclusions\n# Scope and definitions\n## Nonpermanent Resident File basis","[{\"question\":\"What policy shift does the document discuss regarding temporary residents?\",\"answer\":\"It describes a government policy shift to reduce the share of temporary residents in Canada’s national population, with a target of lowering the proportion to 5% by the end of 2026.\"},{\"question\":\"Why might limiting new entries have limited short-term impact on the overall non-permanent resident stock?\",\"answer\":\"The document reports that newly issued study and work-related permits declined while year-end stocks either declined slightly or increased for certain programs, indicating other dynamics such as transitions and extensions matter.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the article measure changes in residency status?\",\"answer\":\"It uses year-end stock-level data from 2018 to 2022 and calculates, for each subsequent year, the share of permit holders who obtain permanent residency, keep valid current permits, receive new temporary permits, claim asylum, or do not have a valid residency permit.\"}]","Tracking yearly shifts in residency status among Canada’s work and study permit holders - release date September 24, 2025 | PDF",1792060946,15]
