Eliminate the program altogether and hold people responsible for the absence of skilled workers the failures of our bureaucracy have produced.Deal with resulting austerity, and change course so that we do not need to import the third world in the name of sustainability,.
@4P29LQ64yrs4Y
Let's use common sense here, who is out of work? Have they been here longer than the guy that has the current job? Then take him out and put the guy who was in this country the longest in that place, A) he's done more for the country B) we need to start worrying more about the people we have in this country than the ones from other countries.

Increase TFWs in sectors with proven labor shortages (e.g., healthcare, skilled trades, agriculture) while ensuring Canadians get priority in other fields.
Improve pathways to permanent residency so TFWs can become long-term contributors to the economy.
Strengthen labor protections to prevent exploitation and ensure fair wages.
Encourage domestic worker training & fair wages so employers don’t rely solely on TFWs instead of improving conditions for Canadian workers.

Regardless, more steps should be taken against companies exploiting temporary foreign workers. Employers using this type of visa frequently abuse immigrant employees.
@B2ZGWPW2mos2MO
Before increasing or decreasing the amount of temporary foreign workers, the government should enact policies to ensure fair treatment and compensation for workers and prohibit exploitation.
@B2F9RNN3mos3MO
Foreign temporary workers should be managed based on the current economic and employment environment and increase or decrease based on the ability to fill jobs with qualified Canadians.
@9JC6BKV1yr1Y
Decrease the minimum wage and remove some social programs to incentivise unemployed Canadians to fill these roles; alternatively subsidize automation in these industries to replace the labour.
@9GZYG4J1yr1Y
Regardless, improving immigration rules, citizenship test, border control and accepting anyone who's not a criminal or a national threat, also imposing no limit amount of immigrants or legal residents would make this question irrelevant.
