Canada's Immigration Levels Plan is likely to be announced imminently. At the same time, those who keep an eye on the Open Canada website have noticed that those holding Indian citizenships are dominating Canada's Permanent Resident admissions in 2025 (as they have since 2016).

But, is this a problem? And if so, would Canada's government consider introducing measures to ensure more diversity among the immigrants flowing into the country?

We share our thoughts on this topic in this post, including what a citizenship cap might look like in Canada and why it's not totally out of the question (though, we don't necessarily agree with it!).

Key Takeaways

  • Those with Indian citizenship have made up 26-31% of overall permanent resident admissions to Canada annually since 2021.
