加拿大联邦政府宣布,2026年起暂停接受所有新的父母及祖父母担保移民申请。移民部将此举定性为"负责任地管理移民体系"的必要举措——目前已有逾6万份申请积压,平均等待时间长达33个月,魁北克省甚至高达66个月。
然而,政策收紧的背后,是更深层的政治压力:政府内部民调显示,加拿大民众对移民的支持率已跌至30年来最低点,超过半数受访者认为移民人数过多。从父母签证叫停、难民资格收严,到临时签证大幅削减,马克·卡尼政府正以一系列组合拳,向选民传递"重掌移民主导权"的信号。
本期精读带你深入理解这篇CBC报道的每一个细节。👇
联邦政府今年将不再接受任何希望通过家庭团聚项目担保父母或祖父母来加拿大成为永久居民的新申请。
The federal government will not accept any new applications this year from people who want to sponsor their parents and grandparents to come to Canada as permanent residents under a program meant to promote family reunification.
- sponsor此处作动词,意为"为……提供担保以获得移民资格",是移民领域的专用术语,常见搭配为 sponsor a family member
- promote此处意为"促进、推动",指政策层面的鼓励与支持,而非"宣传推广"
- reunification"团聚、重新统一",family reunification(家庭团聚)是移民政策中的固定术语,指通过移民渠道使家庭成员在同一国家共同生活
移民、难民及公民部表示,此次调整是努力负责任地管理移民体系、缩短等待时间的举措之一。
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) said the change is part of an effort to responsibly manage the system and reduce wait times.
- responsibly manage"负责任地管理",responsibly 是副词修饰 manage,政府文件中常用此类措辞为政策调整提供正当性依据
- reduce wait times"缩短等待时间",wait times 是固定短语,在医疗、移民、公共服务等语境中均常见,指申请人从提交申请到获得结果所需的时间
该部门周三在网上发布的一份声明中表示,申请该项目的人数持续超过可用名额。
In a statement posted online on Wednesday, the department said interest in the program continues to exceed the number of available spaces.
- exceed"超过、超出",此处指申请人数超过名额上限,强调供需之间的缺口,语气比 surpass 更中性客观
- available spaces"可用名额",spaces 在此指配额或空缺,available 强调实际可分配的数量,而非理论上的总名额
目前已有60,500份申请正在处理中,处理等待时间约为33个月,在魁北克省甚至长达66个月。
There are 60,500 applications in progress already and wait times for processing sit at around 33 months, or up to 66 months in Quebec.
- in progress固定短语,意为"正在进行中、尚未完成",此处指已提交但尚未处理完毕的申请

- sit at固定搭配,意为"(数字、数值)维持在……水平",常用于描述统计数据,语气较为中性,例如 unemployment sits at 5%
该项目于2020年启动,彼时逾20万名永久居民及公民表达了担保父母或祖父母来加拿大的意愿。
The program was launched in 2020, when more than 200,000 permanent residents and citizens expressed interest in sponsoring a parent or grandparent to come to Canada.
- launched"启动、推出",launch 常用于描述新项目、产品或政策的正式推出,比 started 更正式
- expressed interest in固定搭配,意为"表达了对……的兴趣/意愿",在政策语境中指登记有意向但尚未正式申请
每年,从表达过意向的人群中抽选出数千人,获得正式提交申请的资格。
Each year, thousands of people who expressed interest are selected to formally apply.
- selected"被选中、被抽选",此处指通过随机抽签或评分机制从意向登记库中筛选申请人,是该项目运作方式的关键词
- formally apply"正式提交申请",formally 强调这是有别于表达意向的正式程序步骤,两者在移民流程中是不同阶段
移民部一名官员表示,此次暂停不会改变2026年及2027年批准最多15,000人获得永久居留权的决定,该决定是政府移民水平计划的组成部分。
An official with the Immigration Department said the pause will not change the decision to approve up to 15,000 people for permanent residence in 2026 and 2027 as part of the government's immigration levels plan.

该计划于去年秋天发布,设定了2026年至2028年间每年接收38万名永久居民的目标,同时将2026年发放的临时工作及学生签证数量削减至2025年的近一半。
That plan, released last fall, sets a target of admitting 380,000 permanent residents per year between 2026 and 2028. It also cut the number of temporary work and student visas issued in 2026 to almost half the number issued in 2025.

近年来,移民问题已成为政治上极为敏感的议题。联邦保守党表示移民体系已经失灵,并指责自由党推行的政策破坏了长期以来"移民对加拿大利大于弊"这一社会共识。
Immigration has been a politically charged topic in recent years. The federal Conservatives say the system is broken and accuse the Liberals of pursuing policies that have undermined a long-held consensus that immigration is a net positive for Canada.

迪亚布部长今年5月在社交媒体上发布的一段视频中表示,政府正"致力于恢复对移民体系的管控与可持续性"。
In a video posted to social media in May, Diab said the government is "working to restore control and sustainability to our immigration system."
- restore"恢复、重建",含有"曾经拥有、后来失去、如今重新找回"的语义

马克·卡尼总理领导的政府还于今年3月通过了一项法律,收紧了庇护申请的资格条件——追溯取消了在新截止日期之前提交的数千份申请——并赋予联邦政府批量取消签证的权力。
