With the recent transition to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s leadership, early signals suggest a recalibration of Canada’s

renewed emphasis, potentially involving revised allocations or changes to Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)
frameworks.
In the latest edition of our At the Corner Series, Naumaan Hameed and Howard Greenberg discuss the growing debate
around immigration’s impact on Canada’s infrastructure. While high immigration levels are essential, the conversation
now focuses on how effectively this growth is managed to ensure long-term success.
