Calgary Dept: Labour groups say the program drives down wages, but employers argue they're just trying to find people willing to take certain jobs, according to CBC. Kenneth Artezeula, who came to Calgary four years ago as a childcare worker, said her co-workers are mostly fellow Filipinos and Many of the workers who have come to Calgary under the temporary foreign workers program say they're helping the economy, not hindering it. The issue came to the fore earlier this week after it was alleged RBC was using the program to replace its IT staff with a foreign workforce. The head of RBC denied the bank is replacing Canadian workers with temporary foreign workers.
