but regardless of the number of people Canada takes in every year is set by the federal government. it has nothing to do with US policy.
A change in the government here late this year could see immigration cut in half if the new government wants that

Which would certainly affect Toronto next year, but this still doesn't negate the fact that Toronto/Canada's current uptick in immigration is directly related to the U.S. becoming more strict. If U.S. becomes stricter, Canada remains more liberal, and many would-be immigrants to the U.S. view Canada as an alternative, what exactly would be the logical outcome? If Canada tightens its own standards then obviously that number would go down. Next year. But only one country in North America has significantly changed its immigration posture in the past two years, and it isn't Canada.
