Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is slamming Prime Minister Mark Carney\u2019s government, accusing them of broken immigration promises and exacerbating Canada\u2019s housing, healthcare, and employment crises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement posted to X<\/a> on Monday, Poilievre said a \u201cCanada First immigration and refugee system\u201d should only admit \u201cthe right people in the right numbers so our jobs, healthcare and housing can catch up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, he said the Liberals\u2019 \u201cradical open-borders policies broke Canada\u2019s immigration system and made all these problems worse, which isn\u2019t fair to anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poilievre pointed to new mid-year figures showing the government exceeding its self-imposed caps in several categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said 105,000 temporary foreign worker permits have already been issued, compared to a promised cap of 82,000 for the entire year, while 302,000 people entered through the International Mobility Program in the first six months of the year, surpassing the target of 285,000 for all of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He noted the government\u2019s permanent resident intake remains historically high, with totals on track to exceed projections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Poilievre, that would amount to welcoming the equivalent of \u201ctwice the population of Guelph and the population of Abbotsford\u201d in a single year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Conservative leader also cited pressures on the asylum system, claiming the backlog has risen by 2,920 per cent since 2015, with hearing wait times now stretching beyond four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese new numbers mean more delays, turning Canada\u2019s asylum process into a waiting-room of broken promises,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poilievre tied the figures to broader economic concerns, arguing Canada now faces \u201cthe lowest youth employment since 1998\u201d while issuing a record number of temporary worker visas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carney, who took office in March after the Liberals won a third straight minority, has previously pledged to bring stability to the immigration system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Conservative leader argued that \u201cthese results show he\u2019s worse,\u201d accusing the prime minister of backing \u201cout-of-control\u201d policies that \u201cdelivered a triple-header crisis in housing, health care, and youth unemployment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poilievre said the Conservatives will table detailed proposals this fall aimed at overhauling the system and \u201cfixing what the Liberals broke.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
