Canada’s immigration minister is taking steps to curb the country’s dependence on temporary foreign labor and international students, prompting pushback from business groups that say there aren’t enough domestic workers available to sustain parts of the economy.
Marc Miller introduced a limit on foreign student visas last month, cutting them by 35% for this year. He will announce further changes soon to restrict students’ off-campus work hours and he’s also reviewing the country’s temporary foreign worker program, he told Bloomberg News in an interview.
They said the same thing when the Temporary Foreign Worker program was exposed under Harpe.
It’s even worse under Trudeau. They’ll announce a short term lowering of the numbers and call it problem solved.
It’s all BULLSHIT. The foreign student and temp worker programs along with asylum seekers and family reunification intake are sideshows.
Until they lower the immigration intake of 500K a year it will only get worse.
