“Our immigration system is broken. But what is more concerning is that the governing Liberals are slashing immigration and suspending people’s status”
Well, it’ll endear him to the capitalists.
Personally I think he’s right on international students not paying more because it removes the incentive.
In a similar way, I feel like requiring TFW workers to be paid the same as Canadians would remove incentive there. However the single tier might be referring to the removal of this.
Past that I’d rather not have targets, if you have a slow year then you’re bringing in people you don’t need and if you have a big year then you’re blocking people you need.
For the same reason I disagree with the bringing families part. You have a quota and you’re denying someone equally as capable as someone else because that other person brought a +1.
I also think there should be a union requirement for all immigrant jobs. It would do a better job of protecting people than removing being tied to an employer.
I miss Jack Layton.
Why is this labelled as NSFW?
Its unsafe for worker’s, hence the double digit youth unemployment in our largest city.
We are calling very clearly for a single-tier immigration system, based on permanent residency and status on arrival, that gives rights and stability—like our grandparents received when they first came to this country. We need an immigration system that reunites families, welcomes refugees fleeing wars around the world, and does not create two classes of workers.
We will reverse Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cuts to immigration levels. Through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, we will hire 3,000 immigrant caseworkers immediately to address the backlog of 1 million immigrant applications that are stuck and going nowhere.
We will end provincial rules that restrict and tie foreign workers to specific employers. We will end limits based on sector, hours, occupation, or category—restrictions that make workers vulnerable. We believe we should create a network of reception centres for refugees across the country, with real funding for shelters and housing. We also need to fix credentialling problems. Many people come to Canada because of their skills, but credentialling issues prevent them from using the skills they brought with them.
Yup, this is how you fix it without suppressing wages. Couple that with strengthened labour rights which he also wants to do - especially easier unionization and we’re looking for wage growth in addition to expanding economy that comes with growing population.
Yah problem is we don’t have a labor shortage, we have a Jobs shortage, more people doesn’t help with that.
True but general increase of the population also creates jobs as some portion create new businesses. It’s why unemployment hasn’t exploded over the decades of population growth via immigration. Not saying immigration can’t lead to higher unemployment under specific conditions. We’ve hit other real resource constraints that the system we have hasn’t provided enough of like housing, healthcare, etc. I think we need our gov’t to step in to fill the gaps. We also need the gov’t to start employing people the private sector won’t take and do the things it the private sector won’t do. Like filling those gaps.
No it does not. I know studys say other wise, I question those studys and weather they’re taking into account where those people money goes in reality.
just adding new people does not suddenly fix that issue, by that logic, we could accept anyone like Justin was doing, evidently thats not the correct course of action given it that and his stubbornness, it earned him the worst voter popularity in canadian history and shot our youth unemployment up to double digits.
They have to be people looking to start a business here and that’s not a lot of them. if the arms of our economy required those temp foreigners to function then it shouldn’t have existed in the first place, how on earth do you explain that without coming to the conclusion that companys are looking to hire cheap foreign labor to cut costs.
Unless workers force companys to employ the people we already with what we already have, be it born here or immigrated here, im not convinced that simply adding labor to the market isn’t just a fib corps peddle to trick people into letting them build cheep labor.
I’m not saying immigration fixes unemployment. I’m saying that over the long run, it doesn’t make it worse. When I say this and throughout my comment I mean immigration where newcomers have the same labour rights as the existing populatiom. I’m talking about PR immigration.
TFW immigration is a whole other matter which is obvious vehicle for cheap labour, which cannot create jobs, which increases PR/citizen unemployment, especially among youth because youth often works retail and that’s a major use of TFWs. That’s before we even consider the abuse TFWs get from their employers. I think the TFW program did most of the damage you speak of, along with the diploma mill foreign student program, which essentially functions as another TFW program. Temporary immigration for work should be shutdown yesterday. Any immigration for work must come with the same labour rights and that must include at least delayed PR. That guarantees fuckers can’t pay them less.
ah ok, was just making sure your thinking was grounded.
