GH Immigration Svcs

Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre has issued a sharp rebuke of the Liberal government's immigration policies, claiming newly released Q2 figures significantly exceed established caps. Poilievre stated that under Mark Carney's leadership, Temporary Foreign Worker visas have already reached 105,000 against a promised cap of 82,000. At the same time, the International Mobility Program has admitted 302,000 individuals in just six months despite a 285,000 annual target. The Opposition Leader connected these immigration levels to Canada's ongoing housing crisis, strain on the healthcare system, and record-low youth employment, while also highlighting a 2,920% increase in asylum backlog since 2015. #canadian_politics, #immigration_canada, #pierre_poilievre, #housing_crisis, #temporary_foreign_workers, #asylum_system
