Under the new restrictions, employers in Canada will be limited to hiring 10% of their workforce through the low-wage temporary foreign worker program, targeting better labor conditions.
The federal government aims to restrict the temporary foreign worker program to promote local hiring, as prior loosened rules during the pandemic led to significant growth in low-wage stream positions.
Christopher Worswick argues that the temporary foreign worker program suppresses wage growth by offering businesses a cheaper option than raising local employee wages to attract them.
Worswick believes the government should phase out the temporary foreign worker program in favor of focusing on high-skilled, permanent immigration to fulfill labor needs.
