1) A lot of immigrants cannot start the recertification process until they get to Canada, further delaying their ability to join the workforce. This is a problem.
2) Rerun is correct on the professional system, it is a problem. It does not match jobs to needs. The number #1 job needed in Canada from employers is a Cashier. Not Doctor, engineer or lawyer, it is a retail cashier. We have a very disproportionate number of accountants, engineers and highly educated people who enter this country and cannot find jobs.
3) Obviously one of the biggest costs is refugees. In many cases these people are not able to work for 2-3 years because of their poor literacy skills. I understand both side of the coin on this issue.
4) Family status is an issue... should I be allowed to bring my 63 year old Father to Canada with me who will not provide any productive benefit to the workforce?
5) TFWs. Very few routes to permanent citizenship aside from the very hard to get approved for, PNP programs. Huge problem.
There are a lot of arguments for either side going on right now. Both sides have points. The Canadian system is far from perfect - one that I think needs a lot of changes, especially with the PNP programs and TFWs. Expanding the TFW program to allow companies to recruit qualified people, with incomes they can immediately step into is probably one of the biggest priorities in my mind.
