Ottawa may ‘rein in’ temporary resident numbers as housing concerns intensify, Canada immigration minister says

Immigration Minister Marc Miller says in Ottawa that he’ll be scrutinizing the number of international students and other non-permanent residents coming into Canada as political tension builds around the interplay between housing affordability and immigration.

In an interview airing Sunday on Rosemary Barton Live, Miller said the relationship between housing and immigration is complex, and it was discussed around the cabinet table when it came to setting targets for the number of people coming in to Canada.

“Housing has and continues to be a concern, acutely so now in a post-COVID scenario, with the increase in interest rates, with supply challenges, but also just affordability challenges,” Miller told CBC chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton.

It isn’t immigrants that raised interest rates, but volume is volume and it’s something that we need to look at.”

Canada is facing major challenges around housing affordability. The Conservative opposition has sought to place the blame on the Liberal government by linking government deficits with rising interest rates.

Ontario Nominee Program (OINP) made changes in the International Student Stream for PR.

The International Student stream for permanent residency has been modified by the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) in order to increase eligibility for foreign students who have obtained a one-year college graduate certificate. These new OINP changes to the International Student Stream will take effect on January 1, 2024, and will not affect those who applied before that date.

All one-year college programs that grant an Ontario College Graduate Certificate are now eligible to apply through the OINP’s International Student stream. Previously, applicants with a one-year certificate from an approved institution could only apply through the OINP’s International Student stream if the program required the completion of a degree as a prerequisite for admission.

Effective January 1, 2024 Prior to January 1, 2024After 1st janury
Program requirementStudents who completed a one-year certificate from an Ontario college resulting in an Ontario College Graduate Certificate are eligible.Students who completed a one-year certificate from an Ontario college were only eligible if their program required a degree for admission.
