              Maritime Seafood Coalition Asks For Foreign Worker Exemption

              Thursday, 07 May 2015 by Colin R. Singer
              The newly formed P.E.I. based Maritime Seafood Coalition of Canada’s Atlantic fishing industry has requested the federal government to exempt the fishing industry from the new temporary foreign worker program restrictions. The coalition claims the industry will face major cutbacks as a result of the latest changes to the temporary foreign worker program, with lobster

              Number of temporary foreign workers tripled in Canada between 2002 and 2012

              Wednesday, 25 March 2015 by Colin R. Singer
              According to the parliamentary budget office reported last week, the number of temporary foreign workers (TFW) in Canada tripled between 2002 and 2012, but they still made up less than two per cent of the overall labour force. The report said an increasing number of foreign workers are filling skilled positions today as the percentage

              Temporary Foreign Workers Forced Out of Workforce by ‘4 in and 4 out’ Rule (Audio)

              Wednesday, 25 March 2015 by Colin R. Singer
              From 1 April 2015, a change to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program  could see some migrant workers refused work permits. The change should be scrapped because it would force an exodus of foreign workers from B.C., says an advocate. On April 1, 2011, the federal government introduced legislation known as the “four in and four out” rule, limiting how

              On April 1, 2015, the Canadian government will launch a new industry. Citizenship and Immigration Canada will begin manufacturing “illegal immigrants.” Four years ago, on April 1, 2011, the Conservative cabinet passed a regulation known as the “4-in, 4-out” rule, requiring all temporary foreign workers who have been in the country for four years or

              Canada’s Video Game Industry Demands Flexibility in TFW Program

              Friday, 27 February 2015 by Colin R. Singer
              After allowing flexibility to Canadian universities in the temporary foreign worker rules, the federal government is now being pressed by the video game industry for some concessions in the required conditions for hiring foreign workers, arguing that the restrictions are hurting their businesses. Canada’s video game industry employs more than 17,000 people. The industry’s wages

              Alberta Criticized for Using Secret List to Assess TFW Applicants(Audio)

              Wednesday, 25 February 2015 by Colin R. Singer
              Alberta’s nominee program has been criticized for its lack of transparency while choosing temporary foreign workers who would be allowed to stay in Canada permanently. The province had used a confidential list of 34 occupations last year to determine which workers will stay on. According to Clarizze Truscott of the Temporary Foreign Workers Support Coalition,

              In June last year many changes were made to Canada’s temporary foreign worker (TFW) program in an attempt to address the concern that foreigners were taking away jobs from the Canadian people. As a result of these changes, several foreign workers now face an April 1 deadline to leave Canada, with their employers scrambling to

              How the Temporary Foreign Worker Program Moved from Being a Nimble Program to One that Requires a Complete Revamp

              Wednesday, 14 May 2014 by Colin R. Singer
              According to popular perception, the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, currently under intense Parliamentary scrutiny following a series of program abuse allegations by the Royal Bank of Canada, three McDonald’s franchises in Victoria, British Columbia and a pizza restaurant in Weyburn, Saskatchewan, was a program that had merit on paper initially, before it spiralled out of

              Employers Hiring Cheap Temporary Foreign Workers Instead of Canadian Helicopter Pilots

              Wednesday, 14 May 2014 by Colin R. Singer
              Experienced Canadian helicopter pilots have expressed their concerns about employers hiring cheap temporary foreign workers instead of them, by denying the experienced pilots these jobs. The pilots say that if left unchecked, this trend of hiring cheap temporary foreign workers could spell the death knell for the industry. Bill Wadsworth is a helicopter pilot in
