Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has admitted that his government made “mistakes” in its immigration policy, which led to “bad actors” like “fake colleges” and big corporations exploiting the system for their vested interests.

Trudeau’s statement on Sunday came amidst his Liberal Party’s denting popularity ahead of the 2025 general election in Canada. The prime minister is facing intense public criticism due to his policies leading to housing shortage, inflation and deteriorating health and transport systems in the country. The opposition Conservative Party has also been accusing his government of mismanagement and failure to prioritise Canadian citizens’ needs.

In a video message posted on his YouTube channel, Trudeau said: “In the past two years, our population has grown really fast, like a baby boom...Increasingly bad actors like fake colleges and big chain corporations have been exploiting our immigration system for their own interests.”

“To combat this, we are reducing the number of immigrants who are coming to Canada for the next three years,” he said.

“We made some mistakes and that’s why we are taking this big turn,” he said, justifying his government’s action.
