Trudeau pointed out that some individuals and organisations, including fake colleges and large corporations, have been exploiting the immigration system for their own gain.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has admitted that his government “made some mistakes” in its handling of immigration, which has led to record levels of newcomers to the country.

In a video posted to his YouTube channel, Trudeau noted that these issues have now prompted a necessary “big turn” in immigration policy in the country.

In the nearly seven-minute video titled “Why Canada’s changing its immigration system”, Trudeau acknowledged the rapid population growth in Canada over the last two years, comparing it to a “baby boom.”

He also pointed out that some individuals and organisations, including fake colleges and large corporations, have been exploiting the immigration system for their own gain.

“Increasingly bad actors like fake colleges and big chain corporations have been exploiting our immigration system for their own interests,” Trudeau said. “We made some mistakes and that’s why we are taking this big turn.”
