The High-Wage TFW Program Has Some Problems Too

  • サマリー

  • There's been a lot of news lately about the low-wage stream of the temporary foreign worker program -- but the high-wage stream has similar problems.

    In this episode, Cara and Mike explore the types of jobs that are being filled through this stream, and whether the wages offered are truly competitive. They worry about the impact of bringing in foreign tech workers on the wages and opportunities for domestic tech workers, many of who end up leaving Canada in pursuit of better opportunities.

    They suggest reforms to the program, such as making it harder to prove a shortage of local workers and increasing wage transparency.
