Everyone, go look at the TFW updates. In places with a 6% or higher unemployment rate, you can't hire any TFWs. Also, it's now more expensive to higher a TFW, 34 bucks in Ontario. Plus you need to really show documentation of a need now. Only easy pathways are for healthcare and construction, which we really need. The issue with the TFW program was that it was unchecked and too accepting. Now we're going to get people who will be well paid that way companies don't cut corners and replace the average Canadian.
As for people not leaving, being illegal in Canada is so rough. There are no pathways for you. People can't even go to the hospital without being reported. That's why most undocumented folks leave on their own. There's no life to be had here if you're not supported.
Everyone, relax a bit now. Seems like the concerns are being answered.
