Certainly for these women who are coming into the country through exotic dance visas...I think we have to provide other opportunities that would allow people from poorer economic situations to find employment when they come here. Also, I think the reassurance that there is hope that they could bring their families with them, either immediately or in the short term, is important.
I think there is the perception and the experience of many immigrants that the means to provide a good living for their family is not an adequate reason for coming to the country. We need to change that perception.
Canada needs a lot of employees in many, many areas. I think there are people who are willing to work hard and contribute to this country. That would help the situation they find themselves in, in their countries of origin. They have many skills that they can bring as well.
