ah yeah I see where I confused myself. From the links you posted, immigration still exists, but the numbers will be so low that population growth is nil. In fact the document asserts that Canada will see a decrease in population. Unless "marginal" population is some specific variant of phrase that means something beyond the ~41M population number? > The 2025–2027 Immigration Levels Plan is expected to result in a marginal population decline of 0.2% in both 2025 and 2026, before returning to a population growth of 0.8% in 2027. The more relevant thing beyond the permanent resident numbers is the temporary numbers which are also being severely cut. Often a PR is someone who has already been in the country for quite some time whereas a temporary resident would be a new immigrant.
