Federal immigration policy tightening, including the 2026-2028 Immigration Levels Plan's sharp cuts to temporary resident admissions and targets to reduce the non-permanent resident share below 5 percent, continues to drive net outflows that offset permanent resident gains. Parliamentary Budget Officer projections released in February 2026 forecast flat overall population growth for the year—the second consecutive such outcome—following record quarterly declines in 2025, including a 76,000 drop in Q3. This policy-driven normalization, with modest rebound expected only in 2027, underpins trader consensus that any 2026 annual decline is unlikely to set a new record, reflected in the 60 percent "No" implied probability.
