Federal and provincial ministers are meeting in Montreal Friday to hash out how to shrink the number of temporary residents in Canada.

The new targets will be developed over the summer, after the provinces and territories have had a chance to weigh in, but labour economist Mikal Skuterud said they shouldn't be considered in isolation. Miller announced plans to scale back the number of international students by putting a two-year cap on new admissions in January.
"That's what's luring huge numbers to come, and it's creating this problem in the population," he said. He suggests the problem could be reversed by creating a more predictable path to permanent residency for newcomers. The new temporary visa target will also significantly slow population growth. While that could ease some pressure on housing costs and availability, it could also result in worker shortages, said Andrew Grantham, an executive director at CIBC Economics, in a report published last month.
