Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that his government will reduce immigration numbers starting in 2025, lowering the annual intake by 30,000 to about 300,000. New rules will also make it harder for companies to hire temporary foreign workers, requiring them to provide clear reasons for not hiring Canadian workers first. This follows the recent decision to limit study permits for international students. The changes come amid concerns over rising housing prices and pressure from Canadians regarding the impact of immigration on housing and employment. Trudeau's government aims to address these challenges while adjusting immigration policies.
