We have all heard of the TFW program, how many here knew about the international mobility program?
Its very similar to TFW except requires NO local market impact assessment report (The bullshit thing most of the employers claim that they couldn't find a suitable candidate) and sends new workers (temporary as far as I know) to areas outside the largest immigration hubs.

As much as I'd like to blame everything on the gubmint, it's a thing:
Canada’s Business Dynamism in a Post-Pandemic Slump
- Canada’s business dynamism is struggling to get back on its feet post-pandemic. Business dynamism was already on a downward trajectory before COVID-19, and now a slow rate of business entries and a rise in bankruptcies has revealed dynamism remains weak.
- Companies, employing more than 20 and fewer than 500 employees are at the forefront of this downturn. Growth in the number of active firms within these cohorts declined during the pandemic and remained tepid since 2021.
- At the industry level, several sectors are growing at a much slower pace than before the pandemic. While several sectors have emerged stronger. Knowledge-based sectors are expanding, however, growth in housing-related sectors has not resulted in increased competition or productivity.
- Easier financing conditions and a more balanced labour market should support a rebound in business creations. Additional policy measures aimed at reducing regulatory barriers, fostering entrepreneurship, and encouraging innovation may be necessary to help businesses shake-off the lingering effects of the pandemic.

Apparently that's the reason the CAF is a mess...
“a”reason. “not the” reason.

My Words- "Post Covid Intake Run up"
In the context of the TFW-
Post COVID = the time since COVID
Intake Run up = program intake numbers ballooning upwards year over year
The initial COVID slump and recovery explosion are well defined inflection points in the overall use of the TFW program- referring to them colloquially shouldn't be a trigger.
Let's really think... about stopping to read words when we want to take part in online conversations.

In general, I’d recommend a PS career, but these specific times, I’d be leery, too.
And thanks from a grateful taxpayer for keeping some valuable institutional memory within the system a bit longer

I 100% expect to see a reduction in the number of TFW's but no shutting down of it.Remember when the LPC, under Trudeau, resisted lowering immigration numbers until a critical mass of Canadians were unhappy about the level of immigration coming in, and then they budged?
Nearly half of Canadians support scrapping Temporary Foreign workers program: poll - National | Globalnews.ca
A new poll suggests nearly half of Canadians support the idea of ending the Temporary Foreign Workers program, with the Prairie provinces showing the strongest response.globalnews.ca
It's happening again. Will be interested in PMMC response to this, because Trudeau eventually caved to public pressure, but Carney is much more entwined in the business community and the business community likes their low wage worker stream.
In addition - I would like to see us adopt something similar to what the US and the EU has in terms of how many hours and what type of work Foreign Uni/Coll students can perform here in Canada. Moving down from 24 to 18-20hrs a week for FT students and for the type of work being ONLY allowed to be on campus or DIRECTLY related to their field of study. Meaning, a chemistry major can't be working at Tim Hortons but can be assisting faculty on campus with various chemistry related research initiatives but NOT at the expense of a CDN citizen or CDN PR chemistry student losing out on that position.

Shut it down completely with exception of agricultural and fishing jobs. I might even except construction jobs, but I need to ponder that one.

Or they shuffle it all under something else like International Mobility program then the LPC will only be half lying about reduction in TFWs
Also ponder about how our health care system could collapse under that COA.
It needs a revamp, sure, outright cancellation is a good sound bite for the base but the consequences in many non farming industries could be catastrophic.

Won't somebody think of the poor Tim Horton's franchise owner who will have to hire Canadians who won't work for slave wages, know to refuse unsafe work and won't pay half their salary back to him in rent?
It the not thinking part that could lead to unintended consequences.

That would take all of the fun out of it, and require actual thinking.
I mean why have a thought when you can yell a slogan.
Don't be such a spoilsport!

People using the slogan "jobs Canadians won't do" inevitably leave out the necessary following part "for the compensation offered".
External sources of cheap labour have to removed if we want more "good-paying jobs" (which desire pretty much covers the entire pro-union political left) and productivity increases (eg. from automation and process improvement). This dichotomy in which it's practically mandatory to have well-compensated public sector jobs while simultaneously secretly wanting some services (particularly menial ones consumed mainly by upper and middle class income earners) to be dirt cheap is bullshit and has to end.

"Build Baby, Build"
"its time to build"
"Canada strong"
Not slogans? Go ahead and cue the BS explanations as to how they aren't.
Funny, damn near everything negative Pierre Poilievre said would happen seems to be coming to pass.
