The TFW program was meant to bring in people from other countries to fill positions where they couldn't find people in Canada skilled enough to fill those positions NOT couldn't find people in Canada poor and desperate enough to fill those positions.
If we are okay with bringing in TFW because you can't find people willing to work for minimum wage after 10:30, then what's to stop a company from bringing in TFWs because they need people that will work even when they are sick? Or work 7 days a week? "I can't find people within Canada willing to work to the bone day in and day out, so we have to look elsewhere"? That can't be right.
If you can't find people willing to work late or on weekends, make those shifts pay more. Don't go get desperate people from desperate countries that are willing to be exploited. And if you can't make a go of it without exploiting people, then you shouldn't be in business in the first place.
