Canada reaffirms immigration plan despite Trump deportation threats

Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly reaffirmed the country's immigration plan, stating it will not change despite concerns about a potential influx of migrants following Donald Trump's recent election victory. Joly noted that Trump's promises of mass deportations could lead to increased migration to Canada, similar to trends seen during his first term. In response, Canada has announced plans to reduce the number of newcomers allowed into the country. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has revived a cabinet committee focused on Canada-U.S. relations, which had not met since 2021. This committee includes key ministers responsible for immigration and public safety.
