OTTAWA: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had earlier announced his government's plan to cut down the number of foreign students in the country. He also stated that the government would introduce measures to control the influx of foreigners into the country. Now, Trudeau has announced that more locals will be employed for temporary jobs in various companies in the country.

'We're going to have fewer temporary foreign workers in Canada. We're bringing in stricter rules for companies to prove why they can’t hire Canadian workers first,' Trudeau wrote on X. This measure is likely to make things difficult for foreigners and immigrants to get jobs in Canada.

Canada had recently tightened regulations for international students. This move is part of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's new strategy to reduce the number of foreigners in the country. The authorities said that the number of immigrants to Canada will decrease by 30,000 to 300,000 in 2025. The Canadian government, which used to welcome immigrants to the country, has changed its stance in recent years.

Canadian citizens have been facing a major crisis due to the increase in the number of immigrants in the country. The rise in house prices also affected the citizens. This is what prompted the government to change its stance on immigrants. Justin Trudeau is trying to solve these issues before the election that will take place before October 2025.
