Canada's population drops as country caps immigration, with a decrease of 76,068 residents due to limits on immigration set by Ottawa. This sharp change follows efforts to reduce the number of temporary residents to 5% of the population by 2027, impacting provinces like Ontario and British Columbia. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne aims to achieve a better balance in Canada's immigration system, as the government adjusts its approach to control population growth and address economic implications.
