"...Their work titles and hourly wages were laid out in their labour market impact assessments (LMIAs), evaluations done by the federal government to determine if there's a genuine need for temporary foreign workers to fill positions before granting employers approval to hire them. However, both men say they were not given any supervisory duties. ..."

Just when you thought the numbers of temporary/non-permanent resident entrants were supposed to decrease, the NDP-less Liberals create ANOTHER entry program. This time, a limited program for only eight companies (which begs the question, how much did these eight companies donate to the NDP-less Liberal party?). And in the name of "innovation" for the tech sector. These positions, shockingly and arbitrarily, also DO NOT require a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).

When your ratings are struggling, your caucus is conniving behind you, you try to change the channel by flying to Laos for an insignificant Asian trade conference and announce you are kicking out Indian diplomats because...after all that, on that particular day, you are on the hot seat of yet another (foreign election interference) inquiry
According to La Presse, a large number of newcomers who want to exchange their driver's license for a Quebec one go for their tests. However, even if they fail their SAAQ test, they can still drive, representing a danger behind the wheel.
Think of all the other provinces! With freezing temperatures and something many have not seen before, nevermind drove in....snow!
In 2022, 80,000 applications were made to the Crown corporation. In 2023, there were 112,000 applications. This year, it is estimated that nearly 140,000 newcomers will want to exchange their driver's license for the Quebec one.
Evaluators noted in their report that some of these new arrivals run stop signs, cut cars off, stop in the middle of the street, do not respect pedestrian crossings and do not respect speed limits. For its part, the Quebec government estimates that these people need six months to adjust to the Quebec Highway Code.
Still the same old system of 900,000 foreign students for a college and university system that does not have 900,000 spots for either foreign or domestic students. Admission marks increase, more competition for work experience and Canadian students are getting squeezed.
And yet the NDP-Less Liberals would have you think we have a labour shortage in Canada. At a rate of 6.6% in August versus 4.1% in USA (61% higher!), there is no labour shortage in Canada!
