She has also requested for operations to deport such fraudsters including confiscation of passports," Jasleen said. Will you think of bringing changes to the immigration rules?" she asked. Responding to this, Justin Trudeau said that "It is a particularly vile practice that fraudulent immigration consultants impose on people who are desperately l seeking a better life to come to Canada. If someone can promise to you that they can accelerate your file, if the government of Canada, they are lying to you." Also Read | Confirmed!

Again, the government of Canada has taken a number of steps to crack down on fraudulent immigration consultants," he said. "That's why I would encourage everyone to consult the official government of Canada website for information on how to protect themselves from fraud extortionists and criminals who will try and take your money and not deliver you the promise of coming to Canada," Trudeau added.

He assured that "We will continue to make sure that we're doing everything we can to protect vulnerable people around the world from these criminal practices. But as you know many of these people are based in other countries and are beyond the reach of Canadian law." "That's why I impress upon people here in Canada to tell your acquaintances, tell your family members that the immigration process is available through the govt of Canada website, and to be very careful of people who are promising you easy answers to what is necessarily a complex system," he stressed. Likewise, Jasleen asked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau if the government will think of tightening the immigration rules in Canada. "No, we're not gonna tighten immigration rules," he replied. Adding, he said that "We know how important it is to continue to be open to people coming to this country. Bringing family members over, joining family members for important occasions like funerals and weddings." "It's been a long pandemic and far too many families have been separated and quite frankly, Canada needs more people coming to build their lives and their future in Canada so we can pick up the pace of this recovery. We're gonna continue to be the open, generous country that we've always been, continue to give and take advantage of the fact that Canadians remain positive towards immigration even as so many other countries turn their backs," he added. "The Liberal Party has always been the Party of Immigration. We will continue to make sure that we have a strong, rigorous, but generous immigration system to allow people to come, build their lives here, and build our country better every step of the way," he concluded. -PTC News
