There needs to be a path to citizenship for undocumented Canadian immigrants, while in other cases deportation proceedings must be “accelerated,” says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

“There needs to be ... a pathway towards regularization and citizenship which I know [Immigration Minister Mark Miller] is working on. In some cases we need to accelerate deportation proceedings,” Mr. Trudeau said during a press conference on May 17.
