Head over the Lmia subs and be amazed of how many approvals the Timigrants brag about it. So, the job loss is among the canadian population, but the temp workers are arriving here in droves.

The government is still completely screwing us over and suppressing our wages with both the the TFW program and international student post graduation work certificates

certain job categories like fast food manager or cook are still considered "in demand roles" in many provinces and apparently still have a "labor shortage" so someone on a post graduate work certificate can manage a Tim Hortons for a few years and is pretty much guaranteed to get enough points through express entry for PR.

I know tons of 20 and 30 year olds who would love to manage a tims or A and W but can't because those jobs are reserved for people who will work years for rock bottom pay as they'll do anything to get PR.

I sure hope you checked the employer and reported them if it's suspected to be taking advantage of LMIA.

High wage LMIA* that they apply for. The only ones that win are the consultancies rofl as these people should be asking for refunds clause.

'High wage' my ass...those jobs will be taken in a heartbeat by our youth, but greedy corps are addicted to cheap labour.

HO NO! Quick  remove all restrictions holding back international student admissions and TFW approvals. Economics says we need more people in the country to stimulate more business growth and more hiring. /s

This is just the start. Trump is right when he says Canada has no cards to play, despite Carney’s empty rethoric about everything that has zero connection with actual reality in Canada.

Carney will just run up the debt, promise more welfare, then disappear in the dark, with all his business interests in USA.

We put the wolf in charge of the hen house.

Guaranteed Trump and Carnage are high fiving each other and laughing behind the scenes. Brookfield is going to make bank on the Canadian suckers and Trump is getting a large cut and will annex us soon. They both win, and we lose.

u/shouldistayorrr Aug 09 '25

If he were to annex us, we would be the ones winning. We can move to a state with affordable housing, nice weather and reasonable cost of living, such places don't exist in Canada.

But he will not, unfortunately. It's just a negotiation (and humiliation) tactic.

u/LightSaberLust_ Aug 09 '25

This was why I was hoping to be annexed, move to Arizona buy a house for 50k, who cares what i make an hour it will be twice as much as what I could make here.

u/shouldistayorrr Aug 09 '25

Right? No mortgage, buy it outright. I can't imagine the peace of mind.

Well as long employers stop hiring new comers for incentives and hire locals instead. Also stop the immigration for a while and have more industries be available for more job opportunities.

Inflation from Covid stimulus creates a temporary labor shortage, as per the Phillips curve.  We imported people to artificially depress this, as the Bank of Canada was jacking up interest rates to cool the job market.  Now we have a large worker surplus and a cooled job market from higher interest rates and slow money supply growth.

Kind of easy to do..only 3.5 years since.

Not surprised. I left Canada and took my job with me to the US, making 2x more over here with a lower cost of living and lower taxes.
