Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has outlined major changes to the country’s immigration policy.
Over the next three years, Canada will reduce both permanent and temporary immigration levels.
This decision aims to address the challenges of rapid population growth, housing pressures, and exploitation within the immigration system.
According to Immigration News Canada(INC), Trudeau explained that Canada has seen explosive population growth driven largely by immigration, particularly through a surge in temporary residents such as international students and foreign workers. While this growth was important for economic recovery, it also created unforeseen challenges.
Trudeau acknowledged that the country’s immigration system has become vulnerable to abuse and exploitation, which needs to be addressed.
