Quebec’s immigration minister says the government will drop its permanent immigration targets to as low as 25,000 people per year.
Jean-François Roberge says the government will study three scenarios of 25,000, 35,000 and 45,000 immigrants per year.
Currently, Quebec is projected to accept about 64,000 permanent immigrants in 2025.
But Roberge says that needs to go down due to rising unemployment, increasing strain on housing and the challenges of protecting the French language.
