  "account": "Canada is set to release its Immigration Levels Plan for 2027-2029 in early November, unveiling new targets for immigration. This plan will establish Canada's first official target for permanent resident admissions in 2029 and confirm or revise targets for 2027 and 2028 from the current plan. The federal government will determine the future scale and composition of immigration, with the plan closely watched by prospective immigrants, international students, and temporary workers. The new targets will be announced by the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, who must table the annual immigration report in Parliament by November 1. The current plan, released in November 2025, comes as the government adjusts immigration levels following measures to reduce temporary residents and moderate population growth. The plan will detail areas such as economic immigration, Express Entry, provincial nominee programs, family reunification, and Francophone immigration, as well as temporary resident targets for international students and temporary foreign workers.",
