Canada has great news for illegal immigrants. Immigration Minister Mark Thieler said plans to grant citizenship to undocumented and undocumented immigrants are underway. He said this in an interview given to The Globe and Mail. On Friday (December 15), the news agency Reuters reported this information.
Mark Thieler said that Canada plans to reduce immigration until 2025. As part of this plan, 5 lakh migrants will be taken every year. As a result, illegal immigrants may be granted citizenship at this time. Immigration is very important to the country’s economy. In addition, Canada’s population has also increased due to more immigrants in recent times.
The immigration minister said that currently there are 3 to 6 lakh illegal immigrants in Canada. They are at risk of deportation. As these immigrants are illegal, they can be deported.
The minister said that there is a plan to give citizenship to the immigrants, but there will be conditions. This citizenship can be granted mainly to students who come to Canada temporarily and do not return to their home country.
The minister also said that not all immigrants will get this opportunity. Even those who have recently moved to Canada will not be eligible to apply for citizenship. As a result, they will not get this opportunity. He also said that a proposal about this will be raised in the cabinet next spring.
Canada plans to reduce immigration in the next 2 years. The country will receive about 5 lakh migrants annually till 2025. Then this number can be increased again.
