Canada Liberal’s Temporary Workers Program Riddled With Abuse
Canada’s Liberal government is reportedly preparing to introduce a slew of measures to crack down on temporary workers, but it has no plans to halt the large influx of unauthorised immigrants into the nation.
“The age of uncapped programs entering this country is rapidly coming to an end Immigration Minister Marc Miller told Reuters on Thursday. This is a huge shift. However you can’t just slam on the brakes and expect it to stop right away, he said.
Canada’s liberal government has always prided itself on embracing newcomers, and the Liberals have presided over a significant increase in the number of international immigrants, particularly temporary ones. With Canada Immigration experiencing a significant increase in Labour Market Impact Assessments for international workers.
Now, Canadians are blaming the Liberals’ mass immigration policy for a deteriorating housing situation and a national affordability issue. Critics accuse the Trudeau government of bringing in too many people.
According to a July Leger poll, 60% of respondents believe there are too many immigrants coming to Canada.
The Canadian government has already announced certain steps. In January, it imposed a two-year cap on international students, an area of Canada’s immigration system that had become “overheated” and was not intended to provide “a backdoor entry into Canada,” Mark Miller told Reuters.
In March, Canada’s immigration minister announced the first-ever temporary immigration cap. Canada intends to reduce temporary residents to 5% of the total population over the next three years, from 6.2% in 2023.
This would represent a 20% reduction in Canada’s 2.5 million temporary residents by 2023.
Miller stated that the government may put harsher conditions on temporary residence permits to deter asylum applicants from entering.
The administration has previously stated that it will undertake a regularization program to provide status to unauthorised residents. Miller stated that sector-specific policies are not on the table prior to the election, but he did mention the possibility.
However, most Canadians are dissatisfied with the Liberals’ mass immigration policies, and many believe Mark Miller’s efforts are too little and late. A growing number of Canadians believe that Canada’s current immigration rate is too high.
Labour Market Impact Assessments Abuse
Meanwhile, the Liberals have come under fire for enabling abuse in the Temporary Workers Program. The TWP has permitted tens of thousands of new immigrants (mainly from India) to enter Canada with the promise of permanent residency and citizenship.
Foreign workers are paying tens of thousands of dollars for the ability to live and work in Canada, according to leaders of the rucking group.
“The Canadian Trucking Alliance on many occasions has seen unusual activity in our sector and irregularities when it comes to some carriers and the number of approved LMIAs [Labour Market Impact Assessments] they have,” said Stephen Laskowski, president of the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) and Ontario Trucking Association.
“In some circumstances, we can see corporations with a large number of certified LMIAs relative to their fleet size. This should be an obvious red flag for authorities, raising questions about why more drivers are required than trucks registered in the fleets.
When an employer is unable to identify a Canadian or permanent resident with a specific job expertise for their company, they may file an LMIA application with Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) to engage a foreign worker.
According to an immigration expert based in Brampton, Ont., the scheme intended to help businesses and the economy develop is “a toolbox for abuse.”
Abuse of Canada’s Temporary Workers Program

Scammers frequently sell labour market impact assessments (LMIAs), which are federal documents that Canadian firms must obtain when hiring a foreign worker.
Manan Gupta, president of Skylake Immigration, told TruckNews.com that foreign workers to Canada sometimes purchase an LMIA from unethical consultants and businesses, changing their visitor visas to work permits.
Gupta has heard of people spending up to $60,000 for an LMIA in Ontario. Prices vary by province.
Aaron Dolyniuk, executive director of the Manitoba Trucking Association (MTA), says he has heard of people being charged between $50,000 and $60,000. Robert Harper, president of the Alberta Motor Transport Association (AMTA), said he has heard that customers have paid anything from $25,000 to $40,000.
Dolyniuk stated that his organisation is concerned about ongoing abuses and has encouraged the government to take action.
“Complaints include people being charged for work permits, paid less, much less than minimum wage, indentured servitude and forced work, fear of being deported and fired and jeopardising their status in Canada,” he said.
Harper stated that the AMTA has discovered LMIAs granted to companies that have no employees. “We’ve phoned them and asked if they are hiring and they’ve said they are not.”

Millennials in Canada Have Turned their Backs on Justin Trudeau
Justine Trudeau and his Liberal Party are currently engaged in a fierce battle for second place against Jagmeet Singh’s socialist NDP, as both parties find themselves trailing by 20 points behind Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives.
A recent poll indicates that 38% of Canadians consider Trudeau to be the most ineffective leader the nation has encountered in over fifty years. An impressive 47% of Canadian Millennials indicated they would support Poilievre if an election were to take place today, while nearly half of all Canadians express a desire for an election to be called this year.
Pierre Poilievre’s strong appeal among young voters can be attributed primarily to economic factors: soaring inflation, a pressing cost-of-living crisis, and the challenge of housing affordability are pushing many away from the Liberals, who have held power for nearly nine years.
According to UnHeard, Millennials are increasingly distancing themselves from Trudeau due to his stringent measures aimed at controlling the internet to combat alleged disinformation, as well as his climate change initiatives, notably the carbon tax.
An increasing number of Canadians are becoming aware of Trudeau’s ineffective policies and his approach to mass immigration. This past summer, there was significant outrage among parents of teenagers and young adults as they observed their children remaining at home without jobs.
The primary concern stemmed from the fact that most low-skilled and entry-level positions were being filled by unskilled, temporary foreign workers, predominantly from India.
There has been a notable rise in criminal activities linked to international students and unvetted temporary residents who are becoming involved with Punjabi gangs in Canada, contributing to a surge in auto thefts nationwide.
Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives are actively seeking to alter Trudeau’s approach to mass immigration and prioritize the construction of more housing should they come into power.
Significantly, Pierre Poilievre is perceived as more trustworthy than Trudeau, with over half of Canadians characterizing Poilievre as “open and honest about his actions, decisions, and intentions,” while only 39% share that sentiment regarding Trudeau.
The characteristics in question may shed light on Poilievre’s favorable polling, particularly among younger voters and women, who have historically leaned towards the Liberals or the NDP rather than the Conservatives.
The Liberal Party’s support has dwindled to an estimated 7% of Canadians, revealing a significant number of disillusioned voters eager for transformation. Poilievre is emerging as the type of leader that resonates with the desires of many Canadians.

Trudeau Now Using Abortion Scare Tactics to Recapture Voters
Despite Abortion being legal throughout the pregnancy with no criminal restrictions in Canada, Justin Trudeau is now trying to use abortion as a fear tactic to recapture voters as his popularity tanks.
On Saturday Trudeau warned that only he can protect access to abortion despite the fact that Canada is one of the few nations with no criminal restrictions on abortion which is publicly funded under the federal Canada Health Act and provincial health-care systems.
Justin Trudeau’s abortion rhetoric comes as Democrats south of the border are counting on abortion rights to carry them to victory this fall in election races across the country.
Now Trudeau is trying to employ the same abortion fear tactic used by US democrats to try and distract Canadians away from his failing policies and his tanking poll numbers in Canada.
According to a Leger poll, the Conservatives hold a 20-point lead over the Liberals. If an election were conducted today, Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives would receive 44% of the popular vote, Justin Trudeau and the Liberals 24%, and Jagmeet Singh and the NDP 17%.
Furthermore, 64% of respondents disapprove of Trudeau’s job as prime minister, while only 28% approve. While, 62% of Canadians feel Trudeau should resign, including 33% of Liberals, with only 23% believing he should remain.
David Coletto, CEO of Abacus Data, shared a picture on social media demonstrating that when Quebec is removed from the equation, things get even worse for Justin Trudeau and the Liberals.
According to Abacus, in the remainder of Canada, the Conservatives have 50% of the vote, the NDP has 22%, and the Liberals have only 19%.
What was particularly noteworthy about the Angus Reid poll was their comparison of Liberal fortunes in metropolitan areas where the Liberals usually perform well, Brian Lilley of the Toronto Sun reports.
According to Lilly, the Liberals’ support has dropped by double digits in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto, and Montreal in the previous two years.
He claims that the byelections in Toronto-St. Paul’s and LaSalle-Emard-Verdun, in which the Liberals lost, were not isolated events, and that, according to an Angus Reid poll, the Liberals’ popularity in Toronto’s core has declined from 43% in 2022 to 33% now.
That puts the Liberals slightly behind the Conservatives, who are polling at 34% in Toronto’s core, he says.
In Toronto’s suburbs, the news is considerably worse for Trudeau, but much better for Poilievre. Voters in the 905 region surrounding Toronto are leaning firmly blue, with 45% planning to vote Conservative and 31% supporting the Liberals.
The Conservatives have 37% support in Winnipeg, followed by the NDP at 36% and the Liberals at 23%.
In Metro Vancouver, the Conservatives are substantially ahead, with the Liberals trailing severely in third place. On Canada’s so-called “left coast,” the Conservatives had 40% support in the Vancouver area, 30% for the NDP, and only 21% for the Liberals.
In reality, Trudeau is bringing American politics into the Canadian domain, as he always does when there is negative news.
As the American presidential race dominates the news cycle, Lilly believes Trudeau will begin to compare Poilievre to Donald Trump in the coming weeks.
Trudeau and the Liberals have been attempting to make that connection for more than a year, but it has failed with Canadians who recognise the assertion as nothing more than a Liberal falsehood.
Voters are increasingly tuning out and rejecting the Trudeau government. As this trend continues, Trudeau will make ever more ridiculous assertions in an attempt to frighten voters back into the Liberal camp.

Trudeau Calls Quebec Premier a Liar Over Mass Immigration
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has accused Quebec’s premier of lying and saying this he has said he “knows aren’t true” about mass immigration.
His statement comes after Premier François Legault requested the Bloc Québécois to back the Conservatives’ non-confidence motion to overthrow Trudeau’s government, claiming that Trudeau has done nothing to halt mass immigration into Quebec.
“It is a shame to hear the (premier) of Quebec sharing things and declarations on immigration that he simply knows are not true,” Trudeau said in Montreal with French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday.
“We have worked together constructively, or we have certainly worked with members of his team constructively, over the past many, many months to take action in response to the challenges around immigration in Quebec.”
Despite the Bloc’s refusal to vote against Trudeau in the no-confidence vote, Legault has proposed making immigration a ballot-box question in the next federal election. He has asked all parties to promise to reducing the number of non-permanent residents in his province by half.
Trudeau stated on Thursday that his government has worked to limit the number of newcomers by closing a popular asylum seeker pathway, reimposing a visa requirement on visiting Mexican nationals, and limiting the number of new temporary workers and international students who arrive in the country.
Trudeau then shifted the burden to the provinces, claiming that while he has moved, his provincial counterparts have yet to submit a plan for reducing the temporary workers under provincial authority.
Premier Legault stated that in the last two years, the number of temporary immigrants in Quebec under Trudeau’s immigration policy has doubled to 600,000 from 300,000, putting a strain on housing, schools, and public services.
Last month, Quebec’s premier placed a six-month moratorium on some low-wage temporary foreign worker applications in Montreal, but recognised that the move would only cut the number by around 3,500.
He has frequently urged Trudeau to lower the number of non-permanent residents subject to federal control from approximately 420,000 to 210,000, as well as to delegate additional immigration authorities to Quebec.
Legault was also in Montreal on Thursday for his own meeting with Macron, but he did not respond to reporters’ questions as he left.
