Canada's Immigration Minister, Marc Miller, has announced
intentions to limit the entry of Temporary Foreign Workers (TFWs) into the
country, to address population growth and the housing issue.
Miller raised concerns about the current system, which has gone unchecked for far too long, as well as the possible impact on overseas students and workers.
Temporary Foreign labourers come to Canada to work in certain
occupations, such as skilled professionals, agricultural labourers, and seasonal
employees. They have temporary work permits and are not eligible for permanent
residency unless they meet certain standards. Minister Miller intends to
introduce substantial reforms in 2024 to address Canada's housing crisis and
the significant increase in temporary foreign workers.
Marc Miller, Canada's Prime Minister, has underlined the
growing number of temporary foreign workers (TFWs) and international students
entering the country. He intends to confront the repercussions of an incoherent
system rather than single out specific groups. The population of Canada
increased by nearly 430,000 in the third quarter of 2023, owing primarily to
immigration. Miller announced modifications to the international student
program in December 2023, requiring applicants to demonstrate doubled financial
sustainability.
To curb international student numbers, he also threatened to
cancel study permits and encourage provinces to crack down on bad universities.
The specifics of these reforms are scheduled to be unveiled in 2024, perhaps
igniting a discussion about Canada's immigration laws. The coming year will be
critical in understanding how Canada balances its need for skilled workers with
concerns about system overload and its impact on housing and other industries.
