Description: Canada brought millions in—but now many are stuck, jobless, out of status, or being told the promise may never come true. Behind the immigration crisis is a broken system, weak oversight, student exploitation, and no easy path back.

Canada brought millions in—but now many are stuck, jobless, out of status, or being told the promise may never come true.

How Canada’s immigration system became overwhelmed after COVID
Why international students were sold an unrealistic path to permanent residency
The role of colleges, recruiters, tuition incentives, and government policy
Why temporary residents may now face impossible choices
How labour shortages, skilled trades, and Express Entry changes collide
Whether Canada has any realistic plan to fix the immigration backlog
Why enforcement, employer abuse, and immigration oversight matter
What Canada can learn from the U.S., Europe, Australia, and New Zealand

Hosts: Paul Micucci
Guests: Phil Mooney, Nir Rozenberg
