Advocates for migrant workers say the surge in deportations follows Ottawa's commitment to a 'regularization program' that would allow them to stay in Canada as the government responds to historic
If one isn't here legally, and making no attempt to stay here legally, I see no problem here. You came on a visa, you leave when it is up. You want to stay their is a way to do it and I do not care how hard it is. Everyone I know who immigrated here went through that system and every selfish prick trying to take the back door can get thrown back out it.
I don't know what Canada's system is like, but I've heard it's harder to immigrate to Canada than the US, and it is not easy to immigrate to the US. You have to get your green card sponsored by a company or marry a citizen, there's a ridiculous amount of paperwork, and depending on what country you're from there can be a years long queue to get your green card application reviewed and approved. I would be interested to hear from a Canadian if it's a similar process.
When we have articles about how highschool and university students can't find jobs and construction companies are laying people off, I'd like to know what labour shortages we have outside of healthcare.
It never goes into detail about the jobs they can't find... what is the barrier they are dealing with? Experience? Expectations too high?
Anecdotal i know but... my brother in law is on the job hunt and there's loads of potential employers calling him back for construction work, entry level jobs in garages, hotels looking to staff up in the summer, etc. He's working on getting his work permit sorted so he's not able to take the job offers yet... certainly seeing a lot though.
They are proposing 'tent style towns' to house these people in my city. Something is going to break and break really really bad. I see a future where I will actually need to lock my house doors sooner then later.
I know many of Poilievre's ilk are politically in bed with Republicans and their Project 2025 plans, but I doubt that Canadians will buy the same lines, at least for the first 4 years of a conservative term. There's going to be amped up rhetoric but still not as extreme as the US.
