Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre raised the issue of illegal immigration in Canada during a speech in Parliament. Poilievre claimed that 500,000 people are currently living in Canada illegally.

He criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, calling him a "weak" leader with no control over immigration or the country's borders. Poilievre also argued that Canada is facing a significant economic challenge, referencing the impact of U.S. tariffs under President Trump.

Poilievre further pointed out that the government had previously invited about 700,000 international students, giving them a hope of eventually getting a PR, only to now ask them to leave.

Meanwhile, the Immigration Minister emphasized that not everyone can remain in Canada. It is noteworthy that the government has been tightening student visa policies, and with Trump’s potential return to the White House, there is increasing focus on border security.
