Plans to lower the amount of low-wage temporary foreign workers and permanent residents entering the nation were revealed by Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada.
During the second day of a cabinet retreat aimed at shaping the government’s autumn agenda, this declaration was made on Monday. The decision was made at a time when Canada’s population is expanding quickly, posing problems for public services like healthcare and housing, according to experts.
Federal figures from last year show that immigration accounted for almost 97% of Canada’s population growth. Trudeau and his administration have come under fire for boosting immigration without sufficiently growing services or quickening the building of new homes. Furthermore, during the previous two months, Canada’s jobless rate increased to 6.4%, impacting about 1.4 million individuals.
