It seems to be mostly with the student visa program. I've heard different numbers bandied about, but we know that a serious number of visas have expired. Our government immigration department doesn't seem to have any measurements of exactly how many that is and where these people are, Of course, they should be leaving the country after their visa expires; that's how it works, supposedly, but that's not happening.
A lot of these people find themselves in various positions in small firms. We've heard of a lot in the hospitality industry, for example. Naturally, that keeps out the young people who are truly Canadians and aren't on some kind of special temporary visa. We've heard from a lot of young people who have applied to a ton of these, and they're looking for part-time work or a summer job, maybe while they go to university or secondary school. They can't get those jobs because they're occupied by these people, many of whom, frankly, are not even legally in Canada right now.
