Should the government increase or decrease the amount of temporary work visas given to high-skilled immigrant workers?

if they are high skilled, but they have committed a crime recently you should not give a visa but otherwise you should.

Temporarily decrease and the government should provide more incentives to prepare our citizens for these jobs and once the housing crisis is fixed then we can increase the amount of work visas given

What difference does it make. Anyone who has a degree isn't allowed to practice medicine unless they complete school here in Canada.

When unemployment is above 2% we don't need TFWPs. We should focus on building skills for today and tomorrow not yesterday.

Eliminate and put laws in place to prevent a program similar to it from ever being implemented again.

Make it easier for current immigrants to transfer their skills without the next to spend high amounts of time and money to retrain for skills they already have.

Temporary work visas should continue to be used to fill shortages in critical industries (ie health care), but should be ceased entirely for non-critical industries (retail, restaurants)

Regardless, the government should not be involved in this matter.

Neither decrease nor increase, but add funding and incentives for our own citizens to be capable of these jobs.

Promote jobs for citizens, then make the process easier for better paid foreign workers if they are necessary.

With the amount of tax we pay we should be able to train and educate people that are already her and looking to improve their skill sets

Don’t know enough to provide an answer, it matters to me how long term the temporary work visa is. Since I don’t know how long a temporary work visa is, I cannot provide an answer that I feel requires enough understanding to understand.

Increase, but I am concerned about immigrants being paid poorly and not having safe housing (as we saw was the case for temporary immigrant workers when there were many covid outbreaks in the insufficient housing offered by employers).

Routine federal check ups on businesses using this program to make sure they are not exploiting immigrant employees

Increase, but only for occupations that are not filled by qualified Canadian citizens.

Maintain, unless there is a huge need for specific jobs to be filled.

It should be dependant on an audit of high skilled jobs, should only be used to create a robust economy. Not to cannibalize the prospects of Canadians

Increase but government should increase assistance for citizens to get these jobs also

Whoever working, whether an immigrant or citizen should be paid the same. And the most qualified people should be the ones with the job.

Only if they can prove there's nobody in Canada with the right qualifications and skills and work ethic to do the job

increase but have regulations so people don’t get underpaid

let everyone in ❤️

We should base immigration on compassion, not corporate need.

I am satisfied with the current amount but there should be better regulation to stop companies from taking advatange of these workers.

The TFW program should be completely revamped so that it isn’t used to suppress wages of Canadian citizens while taking advantage of desperate foreign workers.

Increase Only if it doesn’t come at the cost of the citizens

Increase, but also increase the ability for less-skilled laborers to stay permanently if they wish.

Decrease and eliminate, we should not allow anyone into the country to take jobs unless they are doctors, firefighters or allied military providing aid in case of national emergency.
