Trudeau Announces Overhaul of Canada's Immigration Policy
New Measures Target Exploitation and Address Population Growth
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has publicly admitted to errors in his government's immigration policy, which have been manipulated by illegitimate institutions and large corporations.
In response, Trudeau announced a major shift in strategy to curtail these issues.
Amid declining popularity and looming general elections, Trudeau revealed a plan to reduce both permanent and temporary immigration numbers over the next three years.
By 2025, Canada aims to admit approximately 395,000 permanent residents, a reduction of 20% from the previous year.
Similarly, temporary immigration figures, including international students and foreign workers, are set to decrease from 800,000 to about 446,000 in 2025 and 2026.
The revised policy emphasizes bringing in skilled permanent residents in sectors such as healthcare and construction, while addressing public concerns over housing and inflation.
The government has also terminated the fast-track study visa program, SDS, affecting international students, especially those from India.
By focusing on balanced and community-aligned immigration, the Canadian government aims to prevent the exploitation of its immigration system.
