Foreign Workers: Labour Shortage

labour shortage: The University of Calgary study suggests Canada isn't facing a wide-scale labour shortage but rather is experiencing a "serious mismatch" between the skills of its labour force and the demands of the labour market, according to CTV. "Indeed, the TFWP temporary foreign worker program is sometimes being used to fill jobs with foreign workers in regions that already suffer from relatively high unemployment rates," wrote McQuillan and TORONTO -- Canada's temporary foreign worker program was under renewed scrutiny Tuesday as a new report suggested the increasingly controversial system "could be distorting" the natural supply and demand of the country's labour market. Kevin McQuillan -- lead author of the study titled "All the workers we need: debunking Canada's labour shortage fallacy" -- said improving the balance in the labour marketplace does not require an increase in the labour supply.
