This market resolves YES if, by 11:59 pm ET on December 31, 2026, the Government of Canada publicly releases an official immigration levels plan, ministerial statement, or equivalent IRCC policy document that sets the target number of new international-student arrivals for calendar year 2027 above 150,000.

This market resolves NO if, by that time, no such official federal document sets the 2027 target above 150,000.

For this market:

• Only federal government announcements count.

• Draft leaks, media reports, stakeholder rumours, and provincial requests do not count unless later confirmed in an official federal document by the deadline.

• A mere administrative relaxation that does not increase the 2027 target above 150,000 does not count as YES.

• If the government replaces the numerical target with a formally adopted framework that is clearly less restrictive and explicitly authorizes a higher number than 150,000 for 2027, that counts as YES.

• If the government abolishes the target without replacing it with any explicit higher 2027 number, resolve N/A.
