OTTAWA — The Trudeau government will announce a dramatic immigration cut Thursday, reducing new permanent resident numbers by almost 100,000 in 2025 after years of consecutive increases to the country’s immigration targets.

Data obtained by National Post shows the government is planning to decrease permanent resident intake from 485,000 this year to 395,000 in 2025. It is then expecting to further cut intake to 380,000 in 2026 and 365,000 in 2027.
