Canada's immigration system has become increasingly complex and weakened due to reactionary changes in recent years.
The country's immigration policy has a rich history, dating back to October 8, 1971, when former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau announced multiculturalism as an official government policy, encouraging immigration from non-European countries.
