A recent summary of consultations conducted by the Century Initiative provides key recommendations to stabilize Canada’s immigration planning and protect the system’s integrity. The findings advocate for legislative amendments to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), specifically calling for the inclusion of both permanent and temporary resident arrivals in annual levels plans and an explicit recognition of absorptive capacity. Key lessons highlight the need for longer planning horizons to prevent system shocks and for a robust data ecosystem to better track two-step migration and regional outcomes. Furthermore, the report emphasizes that future planning must harmonize national economic goals with local infrastructure realities, shifting away from reactive policymaking toward a transparent, indicator-based framework that accounts for the transition from temporary to permanent status.
