Worker Visas: Overseas Visa

Citizenship And Immigration Dept: "We're not happy with it," said Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach. "I know that they are reflecting some of the issues in Ontario. But we are in a completely different position.", according to CBC. Peter Stalenhoef, president of PCL Constructors Ltd., said the government's plan comes as companies like his are getting busier and industry officials in Alberta are questioning the federal government's plan to cut back on visas for skilled workers, saying the province's expanding economy needs more employees. According to government documents, Ottawa plans to cut skilled worker visas by 20 per cent, a move that would shut out 14,000 workers.
