At an event in Edmonton on Friday, Immigration Minister Sean Fraser announced that starting in January, people applying for temporary work permits would also be able to bring their families with them, something previously not permitted in most cases.Sign up to receive the daily top stories from the National Post, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
People in the low-wage stream will be added next, which includes workers in the hospitality, tourism and some health-care positions. The agency said in June there were nearly 150,000 jobs in food services and accommodations left unfilled as the summer tourism industry got underway.“My appetite is to move as quickly as possible.”
Fraser said the government had lifted the cap on the number of hours international students could work and also tweaked immigration programs to select immigrants in key sectors, but more needs to be done.
Don't bring people in till we have enough housing. Think,think..
What labour's shortage?The one conjured up by the governments, at all levels, to enforce mandates. Forcing pplout of work! Where are the jobs that supposedly need to be filled? Many I know looking can't find work. Take Canadians first before importing ppl.
There is no labour shortage. This will lead to economic collapse.
Doctors nurses and homebuilders and innovators but our Country has become so expensive to get a start in it also pricing our children out of the market they grew up in
The lowest bidder Alberta Who cares about qualified when they’ll pretend to do a job for less than Albertans Sh!tty employers need this
Cool so we can bring in fresh foreign workers to exploit instead of just exploiting everyone who's already here.
Maybe so but expanded health care and housing is essential to accommodate these people.
There is no 'labour shortage'. It's a wage shortage.
Oh ffs
you mean a a source of cheap labor? there is no housing or very unaffordable housing , Canada cannot provide housing now for millions of Canadians , and also millions of Canadians can't find family Dr so what will be the result of all this? a complete collapse of our country🙄
Maybe we work on making it a place top tier workers want to live… again. Attraction rather than promotion.
What labour shortage? Don’t we have high unemployment?
Do we no longer have any unemployed?
Maybe this shortage is due to this?
No where for them to live 😂
Don't forget to tell them that cost of life has doubled under your regime. Unless these employers are housing and feeding for free them they won't be making a dime.
Of course they did. What a load of crap! Just hire back the people who were let go because they weren’t vaxed.
Why? We never asked for this, are you replacing all my terminated neighbours?
Bring em in!!! 💸💸💸💸
Where do they plan to house these people? An honest question.
As if their Dependants are going to find jobs. Gimme a Break.
it's not a labour shortage it's a slave labour shortage
More cheap labour to supress wages even more.
Better not be doing that PierrePoilievre Shut that shit down please
Oh great more deadbeats coming to Canada
What about those wrongfully laid off/fired for their medical status?
More worthless labourers yay
What housing crisis. What inflationary problems. Keep ‘em coming !
Maybe if Trudeau put a cap on federal employees there would be more workers in Canada. Feds are the only ones hiring. Why?
Get people off EI, welfare and other socialist handouts.
Let me guess. 75 year olds that won’t work but will jump ahead of us in the line for medical care.. Canada since 2015…..
The invasion and replacement continues apace.
This country is done.
Canada does make anything ...we import most of it... so what labour shortage? To service all the people you bring in?
