Temporary foreign worker program bad for economy: report

Canada Immigration 加拿大移民 : Temporary foreign worker program bad for economy: report

OTTAWA
– “Admitting 200,000 temporary foreign workers each year harms the
Canadian economy and we have proof,” charges New Democrat Immigration
Critic Olivia Chow.

The real story behind the Annual Immigration Report
released today is the dramatic increase of temporary foreign workers coming
into Canada.

Documents from Canada Immigration and the Minister’s
office acquired by Chow through Canada’s Access to Information
Act assert that the program makes it “too easy” for firms to hire temporary
foreign workers. The documents also state that bringing in a large number of
temporary foreign workers has a negative impact on existing wages and
employment.
