Thousands Of Students Have Protested Across Canada Against The Justin Trudeau Government’s Decision To Limit Study Permits And Reduce Permanent Residency Nominations.

Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, Who Spoke To Newsmen, Announced That His Government Will Reduce The Number Of Temporary Foreign Workers Doing Low-Wage Jobs.
