Canada to send home thousands of TFWs and tourists with work permits | TFC News British Columbia

My wife is from Africa and she’s been in Canada for 25 years.

If you are one of those at risk to be deported, it would be prudent not to wait for the deportation process. Go home before your visa and/or eligibility to stay expires.

I watched several Filipino Canadians who decided to return to the Philippines. They realized that life in the Philippines is less stressful. You earn more in Canada but you also are taxed more and spend more with nothing left to save! Perhaps the Philippine Embassy or consulate office should help those Filipinos who want to return to the Philippines with resources like plane tickets so they can leave as early as possible.

[@thethnin8916]

@@maalat it’s easier but majority still receive pension from Canada and so they just become snowbirds and are back when it’s warmer here. Also they come back the minute they are sick since it’s so expensive to get sick in the Philippines while health care here is free.

I think it's not so much the "temporary workers" as it is where they are from. Philippians have been a welcome addition to our communities. They do everything possible to learn our english language, never cause problems in our society and become a welcome addition to our Canadian population. There are people from other countries who do not want to blend into our communities and they should not be given the same treatment.

The cost of living crisis is now called cost of survival crisis for most Canadians. The crime rate has gone up to the roof. Health care system is collapsing and job and housing crisis is beyond remedy. Corruption is prevalent in all levels of government. Canada is dying and they are still allowing 500k immigrants every year to the country.

Greed is the reason Canadians cannot afford to live in their own country, speculation in real estate drove up housing prices at a time when we were recovering from a major pandemic that caused so many small businesses to close indefinitely. Upper pay scale management has been awarding themselves massive increases in annual salaries' at the expense of the blue collar workers! Getting a 30% annual pay increase was almost common of CEO's, while after layoffs blue collar workers were being laid off and those lucky enough to still have a job received increases in the neighborhood of 3%! I expect to see unions striking en mass this year and likely for several years into the future fighting to regain a decent living. The ones it has really hurt badly are the Seniors on fixed incomes who never had a company pension plan, yet they kept small businesses serving Canadians earning menial incomes compared to larger companies who offered multiple pension and matching fund benefits to their employees.

[@Halimawnabanga]

That what happens when they milk the system. Yung “kapit sa patalim” na mentality masyado ng gasgas. Kung eligible ka to work or to become a resident sa Canada then go. But to go In as a temp status or “student” and “Kumapit sa patalim” and hope to have a better future what a joke!

[@大愚]

The issue of high unemployment, too many international students, and competition for jobs can be easily solved, as long as the Canadian government has the courage to implement a policy: International students should not be allowed to work during the school term, except for holidays, and during holidays, they should be limited to working no more than 20 hours per week. This would immediately resolve the problem. The key lies in whether the Canadian government truly intends to solve the issue or is merely engaging in political posturing!
