Right now, what happens is that a temporary foreign worker comes in, a company gets an LMIA and he'll start driving for them. Later on, they'll find a way to get him a permanent residency. When they get him the permanent residency, they're like, “Hey, I got you permanent residency. Why don't you get incorporated now and we'll set up a company? I'll just pay you a flat fee. You'll run it like your own business.” The thing is that a lot of the temporary foreign newcomers get exploited. They get taken advantage of. There is no education concept of it to actually teach them how the business process works and how to set up a proper business and collect tax.
Another issue they end up running into is that when they want to get financed to get a mortgage or buy a vehicle, they can't show the income. They don't qualify that way. That's when the real wake-up call happens.
