Business groups are raising concerns about Ottawa’s decision to restrict the number of temporary foreign workers coming to Canada, warning that certain industries that are struggling to find workers could be adversely affected.
On Monday, Ottawa announced that employers will not be able to bring in foreign workers through the low-wage stream of the Temporary Foreign Workers Program (TFWP) in regions where the unemployment rate is six per cent or higher from Sept. 26 onwards.
That 6% figure was chosen for a reason, I bet unemployment figures will be jiggled accordingly.
