Canada’s government has announced plans to reduce temporary foreign workers in the country.

Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau announced this in a terse statement he shared on X’s (formally Twitter) account.

Trudeau stated that companies would have to prove reasons they can’t hire Canadian workers first before they’ll be allowed to hire foreigners.

He wrote, “We’re going to have fewer temporary foreign workers in Canada.

“We’re bringing in stricter rules for companies to prove why they can’t hire Canadian workers first.”
