Immigration to Ontario has declined 33% due to Federal government rule changes | The Mowat Centre

Mowat Institute on impact of federal Immigration policy changes in Ontario:

In particular, these policies have reduced the number of people that come to Ontario through economic immigration programs. There are three main categories of immigrants to Canada: economic immigrants who are selected on the basis of their ability to succeed in our economy, family class immigrants sponsored by relatives to join them here and humanitarian/refugee immigrants.

The national target set by federal and provincial immigration ministers aims to have about 70 per cent of immigrants to each province come through economic programs and the remaining 30 per cent through the other streams. But as a result of federal changes to immigration policy, the balance in Ontario has tipped further and further away from economic immigrants, leaving the province with a share of economic immigrants well below the Canadian average. [50 percent compared to 62 percent]
