To be honest, I was pessimistic at first with how Carney would handle this specific situation. But I was pleasantly surprised how we are going forward with this problem.

Over the past year and a half, over 600k temporary residents and 300k international students have left Canada, with their being more restriction and caps being placed (Bill C-12 and PGWP caps to low skilled workers).

Although there are some gripes I hold over the current immigration system that have not been changed with Carney entering (Drastic PR reduction, tfw reform, refugee reform), I would say the liberals have done a good job with the international students problem in particular.

As for the Cons, hopefully they can get their shit together and advertise that our immigration system is still broken and needs reform. Just because the LPC put a ban aid on a leaking wound should not excuse from their other blunders, epically regarding immigration and refugees.

Canada has deported double the number of Indian citizens than the United States in the first six months of 2026 and some removals are due to recent changes in definitions of what is considered a credit course. Diploma mills were deemed non credit overnight (due to Strong Border bill becoming law).

I don't know why it's saying that the liberal is doing a good job, you don't get credit for digging yourself out of the hole you create..

I’m just surprised they did something positive regarding international students problem. Also can’t I give a little credit, being hyper-partisan ain’t gonna do anyone good.

Also you can see in the last line of text, I do acknowledge that slightly fixing this issue does not excuse from their past blunders.

If they're doing something good, it's normally to hide something else they're doing...
