  "account": "Canada is set to release its 2027–2029 Immigration Levels Plan in early November, unveiling new targets for both permanent resident admissions and temporary resident arrivals. This will include targets for international students and temporary foreign workers, among other categories. The plan will be the first to officially set a goal for permanent resident admissions in 2029 and will also confirm or revise targets for the 2027 and 2028 periods as outlined in the current Immigration Levels Plan. The details of the plan will be closely monitored by prospective immigrants, international students, and temporary workers as they determine the future scale and composition of immigration to Canada. The new targets will be presented to both Houses of Parliament by the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship no later than November 1, or within 30 days thereafter if Parliament is not in session on that date. The 2027–2029 plan comes as the government adjusts immigration levels in response to recent measures aimed at reducing the number of temporary residents and moderating population growth.",
