The leader of Canada's main opposition party, Pierre Poilievre, launched a major attack on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau today over his immigration policy. Poilievre said that Canada's immigration system was very good during the Conservative government, but during Trudeau's 8-year rule, it collapsed, he said, without arranging facilities for students.

The doors of Canada were opened for them but upon reaching here they faced many problems related to housing, jobs and they were forced to live under bridges and in one room in large numbers.

Poilievre announced that three important steps would be taken for international students if a Conservative government was formed, and the fourth step would be to set immigration levels with housing availability.

It is worth noting that while speaking with Connect FM yesterday, the Prime Minister said that immigration is very important for Canada, but in recent years, the number of international students and temporary workers has increased unaccountably, which needs to be controlled gradually.

He said that the purpose of strict rules is not to limit the number of international students but to ensure that when they come to Canada, they get full facilities from housing to jobs.
