The federal government is consulting on how many people should get permanent residency and how many should be temporary residents. The consultation closes June 14, 2026. We need as many people as possible to submit before then.
Working class people across Canada are being squeezed by high rents, low wages, and cuts to services. Instead of addressing these crises, the federal government and the super rich are scapegoating migrants – stoking racism and division to distract from the real causes. Immigration policies are pushing people out at more than 3,000 per day. People who came to Canada, invested years of their lives, separated from their families, and built futures here are being expelled. We must speak up and oppose these policies.
Migrants are not the cause of the housing crisis, the wage crisis, or the underfunding of public services. Those are the results of decades of privatization, corporate power, and government neglect. We are being divided so that the people responsible for this crisis don’t have to answer for it.
Here’s why participating in the consultation matters: consultations are public record. The findings get published. A large, organized response makes it harder for the government to claim broad support for continued expulsion. It shows migrants, their families, and their allies that they are not alone and not silent.
Submitting takes 10 minutes.
We’ve put together a full guide with template answers for each question, personalization tips, to help you joint the consultation.

Let’s be clear: The Carney government has signaled its direction. Tens of thousands of submissions changes what this consultation means politically and will build the public record we will need as we head into our massive September 20 mobilizations and the announcement on November 1.
