#150 - Capping Immigration Applications from India


Listen Later

Kubeir Kamal is a regulated immigration consultant in Toronto.


In October, 2024, Quebec announced that it was limiting the number of foreign nationals invited from any one country in its Regular Skilled Worker Program to 25%.


In February, 2025, Marc Miller said that Canadian post-secondary institutions need to be more diverse in their recruitment, noting that there would always be applicants from India.


India is by far the number one source country of immigrants to Canada.


How likely is it that Canada will cap applications from India? Should they?


@3:00    Marc Miller recently commented that “there will always be applicants from India.” Is this true?

 

@7:00    The data on top source countries for new immigrants to Canada and why India does so well.

 

@11:00 Why are so many people seeking to leave Canada? Has Canada lived up to their expectations? Is there a difference in the likelihood of success of immigrating to Canada vs. the United States?

 

@20:00 Thoughts on restricting and capping immigration based on country of citizenship.  

 

@32:00  Audience comments on capping immigration. 


I note that in the episode both Steven and Kubeir refer to the removal of STEM and Tech occupations as priority occupations in Express Entry. Not all STEM and Tech occupations were removed, however, major ones like Software Developers, Web Designers and Software Engineers were.
