U.S. Vice President JD Vance blamed Canada’s high immigration for economic stagnation, urging skilled-worker-focused policies.
On November 21, 2025, U.S. Vice President JD Vance criticized Canada’s immigration policies, blaming high immigration levels and its "diversity is our strength" approach for stagnant economic growth and declining living standards.
He cited data showing flat GDP per person growth in Canada and the UK since 2016, contrasting it with U.S. economic trends under Trump, which he said boosted wages through lower migration.
Vance argued that high immigration suppresses wages and fuels housing shortages, advocating for automation and skilled-worker-focused immigration.
Canada recently reduced its 2026 immigration target to 385,000, aiming for sustainable population growth and labor market alignment.
While Vance’s remarks sparked debate, Canadian officials emphasized reforms to prioritize skilled workers without directly responding.
