B.C. Premier David Eby says the temporary foreign worker program should "be cancelled or significantly reformed" because the province can't have an immigration system that takes young people's jobs, while filling up homeless shelters and food banks.
About half of temporary foreign workers in Canada are high skilled workers. These are programs employers use to pay lower wages by having leverage over their workers. They exploit international students who graduate and then get these jobs on TFW visas in place of Canadian residents. Employers gain their leverage by exploiting the fact that if a TFW gets fired they lose their right to stay in the country.
