flag Canada’s federal funding cuts threaten immigrant services in Toronto, reducing access to language training and job support.

flag Federal funding cuts are threatening immigrant settlement services in Canada’s Greater Toronto Area, with nearly half of organizations expecting program disruptions. flag A $98.1 million reduction for 2026-27, including a 17.3% cut to Ontario’s share, will impact language training, employment counselling, and orientation, disproportionately affecting vulnerable groups. flag Despite lower immigration targets, demand for services has risen 70% since 2020, outpacing a 40% increase in capacity. flag New rules limit access for economic immigrants and reduce service eligibility to five years for permanent residents, ending previous lifetime access. flag The government cites fiscal savings and priority shifts to francophone immigration, but providers warn of job losses, longer wait times, and declining integration support.
