[Getty Images] Segun Adeyemi The Canadian government is preparing for a significant shift in its immigration policy as nearly five million temporary permits are set to expire by the end of 2025. Immigration Minister Marc Miller disclosed this to the Commons immigration committee, revealing the government’s approach to managing this large-scale transition. Conservative MP Tom Kmiec pressed Miller for clarity on how the government plans to address the expiration of 4.9 million temporary visas. According to the Economic Times, Miller assured that most permit holders are expected to leave voluntarily. For those who overstay, the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) will enforce immigration laws. Kmiec raised specific concerns about the 766,000 study permits due to expire by December 2025, though further details were not provided. Sweeping Immigration Adjustments Announced In response to mounting pressures on Canada’s infrastructure and social services, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s administration has introduced dramatic changes to its immigration policies. The government’s updated immigration levels plan outlines a reduction in both permanent and temporary resident targets. The number of permanent residents will be reduced from 500,000 to 395,000 by 2025, a 21% cut. Temporary foreign workers and international students will also face reductions. The number of temporary foreign workers is projected to drop by over 40% by 2026, while international student admissions will decrease by 10%. Balancing Workforce Needs and Infrastructure Strains Trudeau defended the policy shift, citing challenges posed by rapid population growth in the post-pandemic era. “While temporary foreign workers are integral to our workforce, the pace of immigration has strained housing, healthcare, and social systems,” he said. The government aims to balance the demand for workers with the capacity of Canadian communities to accommodate them. This recalibration seeks to give the country time to address critical housing and social service shortages while still maintaining a robust, albeit moderated, immigration programme.

L-R: Late Mrs Rosemary Oromoni and late Sylvester Oromoni [Facebook] Segun Adeyemi The Oromoni family, already grappling with the loss of their son Sylvester Oromoni in 2021, has suffered another devastating blow with the passing of his mother, Rosemary Oromoni. A family source disclosed that Rosemary succumbed to an illness linked to intermittent blood pressure complications in late November. Her death follows years of emotional and legal turmoil for the family after the tragic death of Sylvester, a 12-year-old Dowen College student. Sylvester’s death on November 30, 2021, captured national attention when his family alleged he was bullied and poisoned at the Lagos-based school. Conflicting autopsy reports complicated the case, with initial findings pointing to chemical intoxication, while a subsequent autopsy attributed his death to natural causes linked to an ankle injury. In April 2024, a coroner ruled that Sylvester’s death resulted from parental and medical negligence, exonerating Dowen College and its staff. Five accused students—Favour Benjamin, Michael Kashamu, Edward Begue, Ansel Temile, and Kenneth Inyang—were cleared of all charges and released from a juvenile home in 2022. The Oromoni family’s ordeal has left a lasting mark on public consciousness, with Rosemary’s death adding a sombre chapter to their relentless fight for justice.
