When we have articles about how highschool and university students can’t find jobs and construction companies are laying people off, I’d like to know what labour shortages we have outside of healthcare.

It never goes into detail about the jobs they can’t find… what is the barrier they are dealing with? Experience? Expectations too high?
Anecdotal i know but… my brother in law is on the job hunt and there’s loads of potential employers calling him back for construction work, entry level jobs in garages, hotels looking to staff up in the summer, etc. He’s working on getting his work permit sorted so he’s not able to take the job offers yet… certainly seeing a lot though.
Paywalled for me so I will assume this is the students claiming they are entitled to stay?
Those visas very clearly state when you have to leave Canada so I don’t see the problem here

Wait until you see what happens if cons get in power. If you’re not a dumb white hick you’re getting kicked out.
I know many of Poilievre’s ilk are politically in bed with Republicans and their Project 2025 plans, but I doubt that Canadians will buy the same lines, at least for the first 4 years of a conservative term. There’s going to be amped up rhetoric but still not as extreme as the US.
Nice generalisation, glad to see the racism is alive and well on the left.
Truth hurts buddy.
Funny how it’s only called “racism” when fragile white trash feels threatened.
Any type of discrimination based on race is racism, I never claimed otherwise.
Not welcome here you racist scum
You’re pathetic and I laugh at you.
If one isn’t here legally, and making no attempt to stay here legally, I see no problem here. You came on a visa, you leave when it is up. You want to stay their is a way to do it and I do not care how hard it is. Everyone I know who immigrated here went through that system and every selfish prick trying to take the back door can get thrown back out it.
Recently spent 100 hours on PR paperwork for my gf, these entitled pricks can shove it
My wife/kids just got their PR cards in the mail. It took just shy of a year from the time we arrived in Canada to get it done. It was not cheap but it was not that complicated for us. Everyone’s experience is unique, but I found the government services workers very friendly and eager to help.
It can’t even be that hard, there were over a million immigrants in each of the last couple years.
I don’t know what Canada’s system is like, but I’ve heard it’s harder to immigrate to Canada than the US, and it is not easy to immigrate to the US. You have to get your green card sponsored by a company or marry a citizen, there’s a ridiculous amount of paperwork, and depending on what country you’re from there can be a years long queue to get your green card application reviewed and approved. I would be interested to hear from a Canadian if it’s a similar process.
It is easier in Canada, you don’t have the stupid per country waitlist/lottery, the timelines are much shorter, it is more straightforward to turn a study permit into a work permit, that isn’t tied to a specific employer.
There is a qualification floor that changes every year, which can be a challenge for many to meet before their permit expires. Still, it is a process that provides for more certainty rather than all up to chance.
Specific provincial programs can advance your application higher towards the qualification bracket.
That said, even without as much bureaucratic nonsense, making ends meet in Canada is difficult because of high cost of living and lower wages than US which is why the States is appealing. In return you get a stable existence, such as not having to worry about a single medical condition ruining your life and finances.
A good video I watched on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRhZdmtw3Wg
We have a Swiss guy at the farm for a tourist work stay but would like to continue on for a few more months if we could pay him. I haven’t had much luck finding out how to sponsor him and it supposedly takes a long time to get a work visa if you’re already in the country. Any advice? Alberta BTW.
LMIA? It’s one way to legally hire non-residents.
10k people got deported?
They are proposing ‘tent style towns’ to house these people in my city. Something is going to break and break really really bad. I see a future where I will actually need to lock my house doors sooner then later.
Wait where do you live where you don’t have to lock your door

Every couple of days there a shooting in the news and the victim sounds like he’s from somewhere in the middle east.
Bullets go through doors, lock ain’t stopping it.
Aren’t the proposed tents in Ottawa meant to house incoming legal refugees? Like a temporary place when they first arrive until they can get set up somewhere permanent. That’s my understanding.
I’m personally unsure, would be better if they made permanent housing instead of these temporary shelter things though. Would benefit everyone at the end of the day.
Permanent housing might lower “owners” assets value tho
Lol we started locking our doors in rural Alberta over 10 years ago
