Exotic Dancers: Bill C-38

Temporary Work Visas Dept: With the passing of Bill C-38, the government shut down the system that granted nearly 800 temporary work visas to foreign exotic dancers. Under the new legislation, existing permits will not be renewed, according to CTV. Now in an attempt to fill the vacant jobs, Windsor clubs are recruiting university and college students in exchange for tuition funding a move that s raised eyebrows as some question the morality of recruiting cash-strapped college students to strip and two Windsor strip clubs have launched an aggressive campaign to recruit female students to work as exotic dancers in exchange for tuition payments, after federal legislation was passed in July that changed the immigration rules for foreign workers. Government officials say the ban on work visas for foreign workers intending to work in the adult entertainment industry was designed to protect against trafficking and exploitation of newly-arrived foreign women.
