Strong Borders Act Details Introduction
June 2025 brings pivotal updates to Canada’s immigration and economic landscape.

Strong Borders Act Implementation Details Released
On June 17, 2025, Ottawa announced further details of the Strong Borders Act, a comprehensive legislation to modernize border security while ensuring a fair immigration system. Key measures include enhanced document controls, improved domestic information-sharing protocols, and streamlined asylum processing to address border security challenges and maintain system integrity.
The Act introduces two ineligibility measures to curb asylum claims: those made over one year after arrival (post-June 24, 2020) or more than 14 days after irregular U.S. border entry will not be referred to the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB), though pre-removal risk assessments (PRRAs) remain available. These updates aim to balance security with Canada’s global leadership in immigration management. For immigration policy guidance, visit Go Canada Services’ Immigration Programs.
B.C. Youth Face Toughest Summer Job Market in Decades
British Columbia’s youth are grappling with the most competitive summer job market in 25 years, with the youth unemployment rate soaring from 10.5% to 16.6%, the highest increase in Canada. Economic uncertainty has led businesses to halt seasonal hiring, as full-time staff retain hours instead of taking vacations.
A shrinking private sector, contrasted with a 30% public sector growth over eight years, exacerbates the issue. Experts warn that without private sector job creation, young people may leave B.C. for better opportunities.

15% Drop in Permanent Residents Amid Policy Shifts
In Q1 2025, Canada saw a 15% decline in permanent residents, aligning with the 2025–2027 Immigration Levels Plan targeting 395,000 permanent residents in 2025, down from 500,000 previously. Temporary foreign worker permits slightly increased from 42,730 to 44,675, reflecting a shift in immigration patterns.
These changes, driven by federal policy adjustments, aim to pause population growth to address housing and service pressures while sustaining economic needs. For permanent residency assistance, explore Go Canada Services’ Permanent Resident Services.
Ontario Boosts Northern Support Amid U.S. Tariff Uncertainty
Ontario is redirecting the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC) to protect jobs and strengthen industries against U.S. tariff threats. Effective immediately, NOHFC prioritizes projects that counter economic disruptions, promote innovation, and foster sustainable growth.
