We noted two issues in our audit with temporary foreign workers. One is the fact that there is no assessment of the genuineness of job offers. Labour market opinions are done, but they have more to do with the effect of having foreign workers take positions rather than assessing whether those jobs are valid.
The second issue is that very often conditions are placed upon the employer, such as salary or lodging. There is no follow-up done to ensure that these conditions are being respected.
I understand the government has recently introduced proposals to amend the regulations. I think that would address in large part the issues we raise in this audit.
