OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney defended his government’s record on immigration on Wednesday, following a report from the auditor general this week that showed the international student program lacked proper controls.
“We’re taking back control on immigration,” said Carney, on his way into a cabinet meeting.
He’s lying. Lying is all he ever does.
Canada’s immigration system is a mess in more ways than one. Over the last decade, the Liberals have taken a system that was admired around the world, supported here at home and they trashed it.
Support for immigration is falling across the country, and other countries now look at us as a cautionary tale rather than an example to follow.
WTF?
For everyone but Canadian students. 😡 https://t.co/PS4Rxi0fzN pic.twitter.com/OJ4xTGzawz

On the same day that Statistics Canada revealed a higher unemployment rate of 6.7% and a youth unemployment rate of 14.1%, the Carney government made it easier for some employers to hire temporary foreign workers. On March 13, the latest Labour Force Survey showed that Canada had lost 108,000 full-time jobs and that over the past year had added more than 30,000 people to the unemployment line.
They found about 150,000 cases of foreign student permit fraud.
The Libs only investigated about 2,000, with few consequences.
Immigration is worse now in Canada than ever before.
And…watch this, the dismissive laugh off from @LenaMetlegeDiab.

Canada’s foreign student program lacks integrity controls to verify ongoing visa compliance, and the government does not track whether students leave the country when their permits expire, the auditor general said.
Karen Hogan’s audit of the program released Monday found that the government was successful in reducing the number of study permits it issued each year but fell short on improving the integrity of the system.
Our government is nothing short of criminal.

This means a lot more mass immigration is being planned, not less.

As tighter immigration policies bring population growth to a halt, more than half of Canadians say the country should allow even fewer new immigrants and temporary residents in 2027 compared to this year.
Some 52% say the country should accept fewer people while 35% believe it should accept the same amount, according to a Nanos Research poll commissioned by Bloomberg News.
Fewer than one in 10 said Canada should accept more immigrants.
We’re honestly to believe that 15 -17 years ago old kids no longer want to pour coffee and we’re forced to bring in foreign adults that can’t speak English?

A new report from the Parliamentary Budget Officer projects that Canada’s population growth will be flat this year due to immigration cutbacks and major outflows of temporary residents. For the average Canadian, this is good news.
The report analyzes the “demographic implications” of the Carney government’s first Immigration Levels Plan, released alongside the federal budget in November 2025, finding that Canada’s population growth “will remain flat in 2026” and only inch up to 0.3 percent in 2027.
This is wild!

B.C. Premier David Eby has signalled he won’t support the federal government’s move to temporarily increase rural employers’ allowances for temporary foreign workers, saying there should be a pathway to permanent residency instead.
It comes after an event Monday on the Sunshine Coast where the local MP re-announced a move to allow rural employers to have up to 15 per cent of their workforce be low-wage temporary foreign workers (TFW).
The new foreign workers cap is up from the current cap of 10 per cent, and would allow for eligible workers to get an automatic one-year extension on their work permits.
Send them back. Send the politicians who support this assault on our economic and social security back with them.
Cardinal Gerhard Müller has blasted mass migration and stressed the right of nations to defend and preserve themselves and their distinct culture.
In an interview with the European Conservative, the former Prefect of the Congregation (now Dicastery) of the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) said that European citizens and Western nations need to “decide if they want to be marginalized in their own country,” given the radical demographic shifts occurring.
Established in July of last year, the Dominion Society — headed by former People’s Party of Canada director Daniel Tyrie — has made a noticeable splash in Canadian politics. The Dominion Society’s chief concern is mass immigration and its consequences. In their polemic against the policies of mass immigration, the Dominion Society says that the Canadian elite has manufactured a fictitious “mass immigration consensus,” and that this has been utilized to justify continued increases in the number of newcomers into Canada.

Red flags about the Liberals’ plan to hike the volume of low-skill foreign workers, international students and transnational wealth were raised about a decade ago. But the Laurentian elite paid no heed.
One of the relatively few books written about Canadian immigration policy in the past decade says Justin Trudeau’s Liberals could have avoided “breaking the system” if they had just listened to some level-headed economists.
In “Borderline Chaos: How Canada Got Immigration Right, and Then Wrong,” author Tony Keller, a columnist for the Globe and Mail, reveals how in 2016 then-immigration minister John McCallum invited 11 labour economists to give their views regarding issues such as increasing low-skill temporary workers and international students.
The economists’ ensuing report was utterly ignored by the Liberal government — to the point the authors doubted their paper had even been read.
CALGARY — While Statistics Canada released new data on Friday that Canada’s economy lost 83,900 jobs in February, Employment and Social Development Canada announced changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFW), drawing consternation from many observers.
OTTAWA — Canada lost 84,000 jobs last month as unemployment inches higher, the latest jobs report from the government says.
And the number of full-time workers experiencing chronic, long-term unemployment is now higher than during the pandemic.

After years of record-high immigration to Canada, significantly fewer immigrants were accepted into the country last year, a rare non-pandemic drop since 2015 when Justin Trudeau was elected prime minister.
There were 19 per cent fewer immigrants to Canada in 2025 than in 2024; that reflects a total of 393,530 new immigrants compared to 483,655 the year before, according to the latest federal government data.
The Liberal government lies about everything. The decline is likely overstated.
As debates intensify in Ottawa and across the provinces, new data show that public opinion on key Canada politics issues is hardening.
A new national survey conducted by Leger between February 27 and March 2, 2026, highlights strong support for tighter immigration-related measures, widespread concern over record-setting deficits, and majority backing for a stricter return-to-office policy for federal employees.
Canada launches new program to grant 33,000 foreign workers permanent residence, immigration minister reveals
… “We have launched it already,” Diab said during an interview with the Star this week, where she also touched on questions about her competence. “I am not in a position to tell you specifically how many so far, but we will in the month of April be able to provide more clarity and more detail on them.”
Government data showed that 2,125,035 temporary residents had their permits expire in 2025 and another 1,938,805 are expected to run out of status in 2026. The questions of where they have gone and will end up have prompted concerns over a potential surge of undocumented population.
