The future of temporary foreign workers in Canada is uncertain as new rules set to take effect on May 1 could impact their ability to plan for their future. Jill Hanley, a social worker who works closely with migrant workers in Quebec, has expressed concerns about the cloud of uncertainty hanging over these workers, making it difficult for them to make long-term plans.
Canada’s new rules aim to reduce the number of temporary residents in the country by 2027, with changes including cutting the number of low-wage foreign workers that companies can hire in most sectors. While some industries like healthcare and construction will remain at 30 percent, others will see a reduction in the number of foreign workers they can hire.
Advocates and experts in the field of migrant labor have raised concerns about the impact of these changes, with some fearing that it could lead to fewer opportunities for workers already in Canada. Additionally, there are worries that the changes may not address the underlying issues with the program and could push some workers into undocumented status.
While the government has taken measures to protect vulnerable workers, there are calls for a pathway to permanent residency for foreign workers in Canada. Experts and advocates agree that granting permanent status to these workers is essential to ensure their rights and protections in the workplace.
As the debate continues over the impact of the new rules on temporary foreign workers, the future remains uncertain for these individuals who play a crucial role in Canada’s economy.
