New Delhi: The Canadian government has made a big change in its policy on multiple entry visas and has stopped issuing ten-year tourist visas. Due to this, people coming to Canada may face problems. There are many reasons as to why the Canadian government did this.

According to sources, the primary reason behind this change is said to be the lack of accommodation for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is facing a political crisis.

Why did the Trudeau government take this decision

This has also been done to reduce public anger over the high cost of living and falling approval ratings. Trudeau had earlier also announced that he was reducing both temporary and permanent immigration.

Immigration Minister gave a statement

Also last month, Immigration Minister Marc Miller said the Canadian government should have taken action sooner to stem the flow of temporary immigration into the country, which has led to a housing crisis.

The Immigration Department had clarified that multiple visa holders would be allowed to enter Canada from any country as per the requirement during the validity period of the visa. Mark Miller further said, we should have acted a little sooner, especially on the demand of temporary residents.

Canada's population growth

Since interest rates began rising two years ago, many Canadians have been priced out of the housing market. Canada's population has also reached a record high due to a massive immigration wave. A federal election is scheduled for October 2025, making it one of the most controversial topics in Canadian politics.

According to surveys, a growing number of people believe Canada has too many immigrants. Hate crimes against visible minorities and backlash against newcomers have increased.
