How Canada’s Labour Traffickers Trap Workers

Tim Hortons breaks with franchisee after foreign workers claim wage theft

Choori Mohamed came to Canada with a dream of finding a job, getting permanent residency and eventually helping his wife and two children emigrate from his home in India.

Instead, he said he went into debt paying $10,000 to secure a job and spent more than a year working a job he didn’t sign up for, for an employer he alleges took back part of his salary in cash.

“I never expected these things in Canada,” he said. “Everybody was saying, ‘Canada is a very safe place. It’s the safest country to work in.’ But it’s not.”

Globe & Mail Hacked? Editorial calls for end to TFW!

Globe Editorial – The necessary pain of ending the TFW dodge

If the postings on the government of Canada’s job bank site are to be believed, hardly anyone in this country wants to work, whatever the wage. Never mind rising unemployment, particularly among young Canadians. Good help, it seems, remains impossible to find.

Companies seeking permission to hire a temporary foreign worker must first prove that they could not find a Canadian willing to do that work. As of Thursday, there were 4,594 positions listed. The type of positions, and pay, vary wildly, everything from a psychiatrist position in Ottawa paying (at least) $450,000 a year to a slew of minimum-wage jobs in agriculture and food service.

About time. And I doubt that the corporate class will “suffer” much at all when the scam is gone.

Boo Hoo! The Liberals will lose a GDP dodge and the affinity vote bloc harvest.

Justin Trudeau should listen to Justin Trudeau on temporary foreign workers

Justin Trudeau has some advice for Justin Trudeau.

Mr. Trudeau, in 2023, leads a federal government that has overseen a surge in the country’s reliance on low-wage temporary foreign workers. The federal Liberals stoked this increase: they loosened the rules early last year. According to the latest data, reported by The Globe last week, Ottawa has approved the hiring of almost 80,000 low-wage foreign workers in the year after the rules were eased. That’s triple the level of the 12 months before the change.

The Mr. Trudeau of 2014 would not be happy. Amid debate at the time over rising reliance on foreign workers, Mr. Trudeau’s position on the opposition benches was clear. “The Temporary Foreign Worker Program is broken,” he declared. He argued that it “drives down wages” and called for the program to be “scaled back dramatically.”
