Foreign Workers: Permanent Residents

Foreign Workers Dept: Temporary foreign workers are a necessity. The argument that TFWs are paid less and suppress free wage market conditions, and that they grab jobs from Canadians and permanent residents, is not grounded in reality, according to Vancouver Sun. It's a pretty comprehensive process requiring employers to actively advertise the positions. The LMO is granted only if there are no permanent residents or Canadian citizens available to fill these positions and re: Temporary foreign workers: Filling labour gap or depressing wages?, Nov. 17 Service Canada vigorously assesses the requirements of employers and issues a Labour Market Opinion LMO on the basis of which an employer can hire a TFW.
