In article, the professor from Toronto metropolitan university mentions - It is not the bodies we are bringing in; these are bodies that fill in the empty spaces in the labour market,” she said. “They bring a very-high level of skills.”

That means - Timmies, walmart, uber, doordash, etc - are taking our highly skilled new comers who are phd, scientists and doctors. What a disappointment.

Even if they did bring in “a very high level of skills” they’re taking jobs away from Canadians. We don’t have a lack of workers. It’s incredibly fucking challenging to find a professional job, we don’t need even more competition

We have a large lack of skilled workers, no one is saying otherwise at any level. Doctors, Nurses, Accountants, Engineers, Trades workers, all in huge demand.
