But in 2024, the sky is dark, and the public mood darker still.<\/strong><\/em> Trudeau\u2019s approval ratings have fallen to 33 per cent as Canadians struggle with the cost of living. Two million people now visit food banks every month due to the costs of groceries and housing. Unemployment hit a seven-year high in August, at 6.7 per cent ; today, it\u2019s not much better at 6.5 per cent. Five million Canadians can\u2019t access primary health . And we need to build 3.5 million homes by 2030 to close the housing gap .<\/p>\n

What they see is now ripping the very fabric of our country, destroying a consensus that has been a defining feature of our nation, a point of pride, and an example to the world for generations \u2014 but is no longer. That something is immigration.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

And what was happening those years? Well, in 2022, Canada admitted over 437,000 new permanent residents and 604,000 temporary workers . In 2023, Canada let in 471,550 new permanent residents , more even than its target of 465,000, and granted 1,646,300 temporary work permits. Over the same period, the government also finalized 1,089,600 study permits , including extensions, in 2023 and 917,900 study permits in 2022. And over the same period, 293,000 newcomers became Canadian citizens between April 1 and Dec. 31, 2023, as did 279,100 over the same period in 2022. That\u2019s over five million applications.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
