Giving businesses an incentive to hire locally. I also think TFWs should have a certain amount of time to find new employment if they lose their current job, because the visa-linked system allows them to be abused by their employers.
Finally, in terms of absolute abuse I think these guys should all be incarcerated: https://ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/n...at-didnt-exist |
The problem is a lot of those companies are just looking to reduce long term costs and liabilities.
I know of large multinational companies who pay between $30-40/hour(so jobs that clearly a lot of citizens or PRs would work and apply for) that prefer to have people on a 2 year TFW contract so that they don’t end staying long term where they would eventually be entitled to up to 6-7 weeks vacation. Those companies prefer paying a little more in the short term to help to subsidize living costs for their TFWs so they can avoid having Canadians enjoy a long term career where they could eventually afford to buy a home and live a decent life. It’s sickening.
