In 2025, #CBSA protected communities, intercepted threats and disrupted criminal networks. We're strengthening the border. 2026 so far: over 17,500 kg drugs, 180 firearms, 3,790 weapons seized and 400 inadmissible people removed from Canada weekly.

One year ago, the federal government set out a plan with clear priorities: bring down costs, build one Canadian economy, protect our sovereignty, and strengthen partnerships with reliable partners. We’re making progress and staying focused on delivering for Canadians.

As part of #Budget2026, Minister Metlege Diab tabled the 2027-2029 Immigration Levels Plan: bit.ly/4enACjL An immigration system that is well-managed, efficient and focused on our economic needs is key to building Canada strong. Last year and through Budget 2025, we committed to taking back control over the immigration system and putting Canada on a trajectory to bring immigration back to sustainable levels. The 2027–2029 Immigration Levels Plan builds on our progress toward sustainable immigration while supporting Canada’s near- and long-term economic needs.
