ICYMI – Globe editorial: Ottawa’s enduring problem of a surge in temporary workers

Mirrors CPC calls although sceptical that any government could resist business pressures for caregivers and LMIA Temporary Foreign Workers:

…IRCC is doing a better job at managing new arrivals, but it needs to do more to reduce the overall number of work permits. The temporary foreign worker program outside of agriculture should be wound down. It’s also time to take a closer look at the International Mobility Program. 

Immigration is a key driver of Canada’s prosperity, but more needs to be done to move away from the two-step immigration system of the last decade, and return to selecting the highest-skilled immigrants from abroad for permanent residency. Restoring balance has been too slow. The federal government shouldn’t pretend otherwise.
