We are often asked about limiting the proportion of low-paid positions in the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, which is set at ten per cent. Under an agreement between the governments of Canada and Quebec, that limit is set at 20 per cent in certain sectors in Quebec.
I don't really know how things are done elsewhere, but some people are asking for that percentage to be raised, because some companies believe the situation is not going to resolve itself overnight. Even if they prefer permanent residence in the long term, some companies say their needs are urgent because of the labour shortage and are asking for that percentage to be increased and for work permits to be open.
What do you think about this?
