Canada PM Trudeau calls for a pathway to official status for immigrants and faster deportations, addressing concerns of exploitation of undocumented immigrants.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada needs a "pathway" to official status for immigrants and faster deportations. Trudeau's comments come amid concerns from advocates for gender and sexual minorities that the lack of a regularization program leaves undocumented immigrants vulnerable to exploitation. The Liberal government pledged in late 2021 to explore ways of regularizing status for undocumented workers contributing to Canadian communities.
