Former Bank Governor Carney Backs Immigration Cap Amid Canada’s Population Boom

Former Bank Governor Carney Backs Immigration Cap Amid Canada’s Population Boom: Initiative is now one of Mr. Carney’s close advisors.

Mr. Carney, would you say that the immigration system in Canada is going off the rails or has gone off the rails in the last seven or eight years?

Mark Carney: Well, yes. The system isn’t working. And especially after the pandemic. Our population has gone up I think at about 3% per year because of immigration. And that’s why we need to have a cap for a certain period of time.

And I can say — I’d like to say that Canadians, Quebecers, and all Canadians, they want to welcome immigrants. There is no problem with Canadians’ attitudes here at all.
