Trudeau admits open immigration system was exploited by ‘bad actors’

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau lamented the presence of “bad actors” after Canada’s immigration system reformed during the COVID-19 pandemic in a YouTube video.

Trudeau said some exploited the new system, which accepted a large number of immigrants to accommodate the nation’s labor shortage. Canada has now restricted immigration to combat the population boom.

“In the last two years, our population has grown really fast, like a baby boom,” he said. “… Increasingly bad actors like fake colleges and big chain corporations have been exploiting our immigration system for their own interests.
