Employers hired 239,646 temporary foreign workers last year, up from 108,988 in 2018, sparking concerns about market impact and competition for workers.
The program saw growth due to eased hiring restrictions post-pandemic; critics believe the narrative of labor shortages is self-serving, mostly from corporate Canada.
Demand for temporary foreign workers expanded across various industries, with positions ranging from administrative assistants to construction trade helpers in high demand.
Despite the increase in positive labor market impact assessments (LMIAs), it doesn't directly correlate to more foreign workers in the country.
