The Truth About Canada’s Immigration Crisis

About this episode

Riley Donovan discusses the pressures on Canada's immigration system and the necessary policy changes.

Canada’s immigration system is under serious pressure, and people are starting to notice. Record-high immigration levels, a strained housing market, and growing concerns about fraud and public safety are forcing a tough question: is the system working the way it should? Researcher and journalist Riley Donovan breaks down what’s changed, what the latest reports are revealing, and why this debate is no longer avoidable. From temporary foreign workers to citizenship rules and labour shortages, the policies shaping Canada today will define what the country looks like tomorrow. What policy changes need to happen?
