A report from Canada’s parliamentary foreign affair committee has been issued, suggesting that foreign workers on Canadian skilled visas should be given more protection from employers and more time to gain Canadian citizenship.
The suggestions made in the report are predominantly geared towards ensuring that foreign workers are not exploited, clearly stating: “No one should feel that they have to tolerate mistreatment in the short term for the long-term gain of permanent residency.”
The report also states that temporary workers should have the right to work for multiple employers, in a bid to reduce exploitation form unscrupulous bosses and recruitment agencies.
Canadian Immigration spokesperson, Alykhan Velshi said he expected the suggestions to be implemented soon.
“The minister is currently consulting with cultural communities and employers on how to improve the temporary foreign worker program as well as the live-in caregiver program to better protect foreign workers, with a view to implementing tougher regulations in the upcoming months,” he said.
