Labour Market: Government Rules

Yukon Dept: Under new federal government rules, foreign workers in the Yukon Nominee Program will now have to put up $10,000 in security in case they can't support themselves in Canada, and write an exam to prove they know some English or French, according to CBC. The Yukon Nominee Program was developed to fill holes in the labour market and tougher rules for foreign workers will cause a big drop in immigration to Yukon, says Ailene Gayangos, vice-president of the Canadian Filipino Association of the Yukon. "For an average Filipino to have, like, 400,000 pesos, you know, which is the equivalent of the 10,000 settlement, that's a lot of money," Gayangos said. "They will be able to just probably stay in the Philippines if they have that money." As reported in the news.
