Asked if Canada should accept more, about the same, or fewer immigrants, two in three Canadians (64%) say Canada should accept fewer immigrants in 2025 than the government’s current aim of 485,000 immigrants in 2024. One in four (26%) say Canada should accept about the same number of immigrants, and five per cent say it should accept more in 2025.
