Chris Alexander: It spiked. Between January and June, 125,000 temporary foreign workers were admitted into the country; a 5-per-cent increase over the same period last year, according to The Star. Chris Alexander , who became minister of citizenship and immigration in July, did his best to explain the embarrassing surprise and Since spring Canadians have been assured the number of temporary foreign workers entering Canada will drop, thanks to the restrictions put in place by Stephen Harpers government. It wasnt because businesses went on a hiring spree; Canadian job applicants were being turned away in droves. It wasnt because the economy was growing; it has been anemic all year. And it certainly wasnt because Canadians want more low-cost foreign labour pouring into the country. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
