How will the 50 percent reduction in provincial nominee program spots impact Canadian provinces' ability to attract skilled workers and meet employer demands?

The Canadian government is reducing provincial nominee program spots by 50 percent, impacting provinces' ability to meet employer needs. In response, the Immigration Minister offered provinces increased economic migrant selection in exchange for accepting more asylum seekers. This follows a rise in asylum seekers and potential influx from the U.S. due to stricter immigration policies.
