What happened
A report stated that Canada's immigration levels during Justin Trudeau's time as prime minister may have exceeded the country's capacity to absorb newcomers in areas such as employment, housing, education, and healthcare. The report also noted that 51 percent of non-white Canadians agreed that there is too much immigration, compared with 47 percent of white Canadians.
