You do realize you can't just hand out work visa's right? You actually have to prove that you can't fill the position with a Canadian, or that a Canadian doesn't possess the required skillset to complete the job.
Many of these foreign workers were sent packing with the recession unless they had acquired permenent residence. I know where we work when the layoffs hit, anyone that was on a work visa had to be let go first regardless of the job performance of Canadians in the workplace.
This is a policy I fully agree with and support, but to say the government just hands out work visas is not correct. There has to be a need, and you have to prove this need and the ability of the foreign worker to fill it.
