Amidst mounting apprehension, Prime Minister Trudeau is reevaluating his approach to immigration policies. Trudeau recently acknowledged his government's role in a substantial surge of temporary immigration, surpassing the capacity that Canada can effectively manage. This admission comes as a surprise, considering the government's previous stance on the sharp increase in non-permanent residents and international student visas. Since 2021, there has been an astounding 93% uptick in non-permanent residents, propelling Canada to experience its swiftest population growth since 1957, with 63% attributed to non-permanent residents for the second consecutive year. While Trudeau's administration initially underestimated the repercussions on housing and infrastructure, recent public unease and dwindling poll numbers have catalyzed a reconsideration of policy.
