More Skills Shortage Nonsense: Inmigration's Leg ti Stand On

At some point the institution of immigration will have to answer to the chronic issues of " lack of skilled workers" and " aging population ".  This has been an excuse for decades now. 

If the demand is so high for such tech jobs, why are our Canadian universities and colleges failing to meet this demand and design diplomas and degrees to prepare students for such a high growth, high demand, good paying, important career choice? 

"...The Global Talent Stream (GTS) is a fast-track federal immigration program that helps employers attract and retain highly skilled temporary foreign workers. Under the GTS, employers need to obtain a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). This is to prove that they have exhausted all possibilities to hire from the local talent pool. This process takes two weeks.

Once this process is over, foreign nationals can then apply to come to Canada through the GTS. Canada processes these applications in just two weeks. This means that it can take just four weeks for a foreign national to come to Canada through this program..."
