Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Monday that his government will reduce the number of temporary foreign workers working at low salaries. The PM posted on the social media platform and wrote that we are trying to reduce the number of low-paid temporary workers in Canada. The market has changed now, now the time has come to promote Canadian workers and youth in our market. In fact, when there was a huge shortage of workers in the country after Kovid-19, the Canadian government relaxed the rules and made it easier for foreign workers, after which a historic increase in the number of foreign workers was seen in Canada. However, some experts believe that this will increase unemployment among immigrant youth.
According to a CBC report, no employer will hire any foreign temporary worker in an area where the unemployment rate is high or more than six percent. But as a humanitarian aid, it has been said that if the food security of a person is not at risk, then food security has been kept as an exception in such places. These works include agriculture and food and fish farming as well as construction works. According to this report, now no employer will be allowed to keep more than 10 percent of their workforce as temporary foreign workers. Along with this, the government is also thinking of reducing the two-year contract of temporary workers to one.
According to a report published in India Today, according to a Canadian government media, on behalf of the government, Minister Randy Boissonnault said that the temporary foreign worker program was brought into existence to address the shortage of workers in the market, this was for when we were not able to find qualified Canadians to fill those roles. Now that we know that there are more Canadians qualified to fill the vacant positions, we are making this change. This change will give priority to Canadian workers and ensure that Canadians trust that their government is not giving their rights to someone else.
