Canada Closes Doors on Foreign Workers: What You Need to Know

Canada's Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Official Languages Randy Boissonnault is following through on the Liberal government's plan to reduce the number of temporary foreign workers in Canada. Just this morning, he has announced new restrictions on the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, significantly impacting foreign nationals hoping to use job offers to support their Permanent Residency applications. Starting September 26, 2024, the government will limit the hiring of foreign workers in low-wage roles in areas with high unemployment, reduce the allowable number of foreign workers to 10% of an employer's workforce, and shorten employment durations. Join me live to understand the full impact of these changes and what it means for your plans to remain in Canada.

I remember when we moved to Canada as permanent residents 23 years ago, I was so impressed with Tim Hortons that had older ladies behind the counter together with young people. I thought, wow, here is a company that allows for the retired people to suppliment their retirement funds. Same for Home Depot. The latter was full of retired guys and it was so nice because they have been around long enough to know what to suggest if one needed help to fix something. Nowadays, it's just East Indians everywhere. Before covid, the Tim Hortons close to me used to have an older lady, a guy in his 40's, teenagers, students : white, black, philipino's. So a wonderful mixture of young and old and in between from different races. Then it looked like there was an ownership change or something because during covid and afterwards within a year everybody was replaced with just East Indians. The other day for the first time in a very very long time I saw one white teenage girl behind the counter. It's unfortunate that most East Indians don't want to integrate, they rather push out all other races and take over. Lets hope we will get back the different ages and races with the cap on international students and TFW program.

Depends where you are in Canada and Ontario. The Indian (new Canadians) stick to the big cities because they can go to the temple, Indian food stores, EG. Bombay spices. There is even an Indian food truck by my house. Punjabi motors even. (used car lot) They don't move to some small rural farming town like Wingham, Ont. where I stopped at the Tim Hortons last Sunday. Everyone behind the counter was young and white (blond hair, blue eyes) reflecting the residents of the community. The change you mention is Indian ownership. They own Tim Hortons, Burger King, A&W, Petro Canadas (gas stations), hotels with the big American name on them like "Holiday Inn" these are the Hindus with a name like Patel. A lot of Patels are also medical doctors. Be safe and keep your stick on the ice,

My feeling has always been that companies exploiting the temporary foreign worker program and breaking labour laws in the process of employing foreign workers obtain a competitive economic advantage for doing so. If I was the Minister, I would not only ban those companies from hiring foreign workers for life, but do everything I could to prosecute them criminally. Any PR owners would have their permanent resident stripped and removed from Canada. Any Canadian crooked employers would be thrown in jail.

Clearly, a full-time adult employee, experienced in the industry will be more effective and more profitable for the owner than four casual Canadian kids starting their first jobs in the industry. It is a difficult balance to protect Canadian jobs while still meeting the needs of employers who genuinely cannot find staff to work when all of the kids go back to school. The issue is less about the foreign workers and how awesome they can be, and more about having a well thought out, well planned program, that properly vets LMIA applications to ensure there are no Canadians or permanent residence able to fill the positions.

THE PROBLEM WITH Canada's IMMIGRATION PROGRAM YEAR 2023 CANADA approved and printed approx 1 MILLION Study Permits letting in 1 MILLION INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS. The US approved and printed approx 1 MILLION Study Permits letting in 1 MILLION INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS. CANADA'S GDP = 2.1 Trillion Dollars US's GDP = 21 Trillion Dollars How can CANADA accept same number of international students as US? Canada's economy is nowhere near US's. The Canadian economy is simply not BIG ENOUGH to absorb 1 MILLION INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS. So, the big question is WHY DID CANADIAN GOVERNMENT ALLOWED 1 MILLION INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS INTO THE COUNTRY? The answer lies in a quote in an article by PIE News Website. The quote is "Spending by international students contributed $30.9 billion to Canada's GDP in 2022, new government figures have revealed" It's about MONEY. It's always been about MONEY. Now, the TRUDEAU GOVERNMENT has realised that they will NOT win the next election if they don't do anything to reduce these immigration numbers. If TRUDEAU Wins again next year, he is gonna come back and increase the immigration numbers again. So, who to blame here?

Mark, the government is responsible for training young Canadians, not the employers. Employers are businesses that provide services; they should not substitute the role of the parents, schools, and training programs from the government. In a country where young workers are declining along with the population, you will still need talents from abroad.

[@eijnebromero9921]

The responsibility for training young Canadians to enter the workforce is shared between employers, the government, educational institutions, and other organizations. In fact, provincial and federal governments fund and regulate educational institutions to ensure that young Canadians receive the education and skills needed to enter the workforce and also they offer various programs to help young people gain the skills and experience needed for employment. For example, the Youth Employment and Skills Strategy (YESS). Whereas, employers are responsible for providing specific training related to the job, which may include technical skills, workplace safety, and company-specific processes. In addition, employers should participate in co-op programs or offer internships that allow young people to gain practical experience while still in school which we don't see nowadays because of PRACTICES where some employers in Canada engage in activities that exploit loopholes in the system to prioritize their financial gain at the expense of providing fair employment opportunities to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. It has been said over and over during Mark's talk. Don't turn a blind eye into this topic.

Look automation is literally around the corner in like maybe 5 years now. Machine learning completely changes the reality of our labour market, and if we oversaturate our labour market with low skilled workers, we're going to end up with millions of structurally unemployed permanent residents and Canada is gonna find itself with a massive welfare bill.

Foreign workers are being used as scapegoats for the failure of Canadian Politicians to plan and invest in housing, infrastructure, and services in the last 30 years.

[@CanadianImmigrationInstitute]

This is definitely the perception that is being given to Canadians. The liberal government needs to clean up this mess as soon as possible. The reality is not always the same as the perception people have. Clearly the numbers of international students and foreign workers are beyond where the government wants them. It is now up to them to sort this mess out.

[@vikramjeetsran653]

Cheap labour is killing standards, over-time, part-time work. Not good for Canadians during these challenging times. TR to PR pathway was absolute mess and uncalled for. One pay cheque was enough to qualify for this program. That was just open doors to new comers. Since there is no cap on country of birth, at least there can be a cap on issuing PR. There won't be a diverse pool of immigrants choosing Canada because most of them qualify for USA. What option Canada is left with Indians and Chinese! Put a cap on immigrants with country of birth from these nations and see who comes to Canada. Rest all nationalities prefer USA and their processing period is less than a year. Nobody comes to Canada unless you call them on State Welfare through refugee or asylum routes.

​​@tanzcanmediatv4473 I think in Canada and USA, there is a huge challenge here.

People coming are coming from dirt poor conditions and they are able to survive in crowded basements where they get 2 showers/week. These guys have a plan and they will accept anything for the bigger goal and when they get the PR they can share a place with their multigenerational family and pay each other until each of them own their property. This known as the Indian system (btw, I am not Indian).
