The question is will they slow down approvals until the end of the year and what categories are the extra PRs coming from.
The PR target for 2025 is 395,000 across all categories of PR admissions but there is provision in the immigration level plan to increase overall categories upto 436,000 for 2025.

My Guess:extra PR, they may focus on the refugees and protection, ottawa is already in trouble with numbers of refugees in the country.
They could do the same thing they did last year small numbers could be added to provinces nominee programs.
Slowing Express Entry down by the end of the year.

The article is making a lot of assumptions based on the first 6 months of data. Yes there is some flexibility in the targets but don’t think the government wants to go significantly over the 395k for political and economic reasons. In general approvals tend to slow down at the end of the year when it becomes clear that IRCC is on track to meet or exceed targets or is getting close to targets. We have no idea how IRCC will react if they see they are on track to approve over 400k PRs or if they will be willing to go over targets in certain programs versus others.

Refugee cohorts are extremely expensive to a nation. I would not bet on this being the case here.

But same refugee cohort caused reductions on overall province nominee program quotas by IRCC and from the previous immigration minister Marc miller,because of some provinces unwilling to accept refugees in 2024.
Newfoundland and Labrador PNP quotas was slashed but they accepted refugees,then the province PNP quotas has been increased.
Some PNP slots could be increased in 2026 if any province wishes,there is a price tag already on the table.
Either way refugees has affected PR quotas already in 2025 likely in 2026.

Think you are confusing asylum seekers with refugees. Marc Miller was attempting to spread out asylum seekers across the country because they are concentrated in Ontario and Quebec. The total PR target doesn’t change so if you allocate more to the provinces you have to cut somewhere else.

Yeah i meant assylum seekers!!
IRCC always review immigration level plan every November each year.The Federal PR quotas wasn't reduced, let's see what will be adjusted by then.If the immigration level plan will be revisited.

The 2025 target was revised down by Miller. As were the 25-27 targets. That said the whole system is a mess and asylum & H&C on a long list of things that need to be reformed.

Since it is revised every year 2026 -2027 immigration level plan by marc miller is useless.
Consultation has ended for future canada immigration level plan in August 17 2025.

It is not always revised and does allow people to see the patterns to plan for the future even if revised. We have a new government and geopolitical and economic headwinds so not surprising if the numbers are tweaked a bit. I don’t expect major changes just slight differences in allocations and maybe different priority occupations. What is a lot more interesting is how IRCC will reform H&C and asylum so it is functional and address fraud in the system in general.
 
what kind of work experience or educational field can lead to extensive security screening, except IT, Computing programing, Eng. database , cybersecurity and nuclear science, is there any more field ?
 
who knows is this response from ircc webform is generic/standard reply or agent provided this information ?
