I’m not racist but this is why people are very upset about immigration numbers.
“For example, Joh2Stone Inc. – the operator of several McDonald’s Corp. franchises in Eastern Ontario – was approved in the fourth quarter to fill 78 food-service roles. Many Tim Hortons franchises also received approvals,” read part of The Globe and Mail’s report.

There were also some industries – accommodation and food services – that were temporarily permitted to hire up to 30% of their staff through the low-wage stream of the TFW program, up from a previous 10% cap. Most of the other industries were permanently bumped up to 20%, according to the report.
In March, the federal government announced it is limiting the use of the TFW program to those who absolutely cannot find Canadians who can fill job openings. Effective May 1, employers will need to explore every option before applying for a Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIA). This includes recruiting asylum seekers with valid work permits here in Canada.
That’s just trading one group of artificially cheap labour for another.

No one’s really thinking about TFWs or even wages when they’re complaining about immigration. They’re primarily thinking about housing.

A free market would come with open borders (otherwise, the market isn’t actually free), and it would be even easier for employers to find cheap labour.
This is frustrating.
