The agreement only covers legal border crossings, though, not illegal, or in the language of the Trudeau government, irregular crossings. “I understand why desperate people are trying to cross there,” Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Tuesday. “Our system is now so slow and so broken.”He’s right about the legal immigration system being broken. A person looking to come to Canada to start their own business faces a 3 1/2-year processing time to find out if they are approved. The wait for a skilled tradesperson is currently 63 months, more than five years, just to see if you qualify.
