Immigrants today now have the privilege of entering and residing in Canada but along with this privilege, there are also barriers that impede their integration and deprive them of equal opportunity in the society. The undervaluing of foreign education and credentials has emerged over the years as a huge obstacle faced by recent immigrants who seek employment in the areas that they have been trained, and worked in for decades in their respective home countries. For years, newcomers in Canada have been denied inclusion into the Canadian labour market simply because of policies that were

While Canada offers multiple programs for the purpose of aiding refugees and giving them a fresh start, a lot of employers complained about the shortage of labor. However, whether or not the reported labor shortage was factual or not can be disputed to this day. In fact, employer groups reported difficulties when it came to hiring worker that were suitable, while substantial wage increases, unemployed workers, and job vacancies with both refugees and immigrants were discrepancies that were scarcely documented. Despite this, Canada has been working to set up the Start Visa program, while suspending the Federal Entrepreneur and Immigrant Investor programs, for the purpose of attracting further innovation and investment into the country.

Workers admitted to this program were offered temporary residency which was tied directly with their employment and their employer (Canadian Union of Public Employees, 2013). Though they were able to earn an income, these workers were not eligible for immigration status, as their employment was only temporary (Canadian Union of Public Employees, 2013). The program was originally created to help out employers who found themselves in a shortage of highly-skilled Canadian employees (Canadian Union of Public Employees, 2013). Since its conception, the program was extremely exclusionary, allowing only foreign workers with high degrees and very specific skills to be recruited. In addition, the entire application process was time-consuming and rigorous (Canadian Union of Public Employees, 2013). Given the fact that workers were only granted temporary work permits, one cannot help but wonder if the entire process was worth

“I’m pleased to say we are off to a good start. Employers have been keen to get involved and provinces have started to receive applications from employers who wish to participate in the pilot,” said Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Minister Ahmed Hussen.

Immigration is just one of many critical components for Canada’s economic future and its immigration policies are centered primarily around humanitarian and economic concerns (Ansari, 2017). Canada requires that if you are to emigrate to its nation other than as a refugee, you must be a skilled worker or business person who will help build the economy. A system of points is utilized to distinguish applicants who qualify under these conditions from those who do not (Government of Canada: Immigration, 2017, July 20). Previously, the Canadian government also implemented a business immigration program that helped quicken the entry and permanent residency process for immigrants with business and/or management experience who were willing to make

Even though Canada’s TFW program is seen as a model for other countries to follow, there remain issues of marginalization among foreign workers. According to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), Canada’s program “allows Canadian employers to hire foreign nationals to fill temporary labour and skill shortages when qualified Canadian citizens or permanent residents are not available” (CIC, 2012, para. 1). Tracy Lemieux and Jean-François Nadeau (2015), researchers from the Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO), suggest that Canadian employers are choosing to employ foreign workers in low-skill occupations when most domestic workers possess the skills to fill

Beginning a new life is not easy.

Fight Back; Workplace Justice for Immigrants provides a comprehensive overview detailing the endless adversities surrounding employment, social discrimination and exploitation, vividly accented by the very migrants battling at the forefront.

One certainty regarding Canada’s diverse labour market is that, simply, some jobs are better than others. When comparing what makes one job better than another, various factors such as work hours, wages, benefits, and security are assessed. It makes sense that permanent, full-time, well-compensated, secure positions would be considered “better” than precarious (unreliable and/or unpredictable), part-time, temporary, low-wage, benefits-absent jobs would be. However, to complicate this labour market division further is the overwhelming presence of inequality within the market(s), driven by historical conditions and ongoing market standards which have put and kept women, visible minorities and other groups in a vulnerable position. It is these certain groups that consistently suffer the consequences of labour market insecurity and inequality, and experience structural and social barriers to improving the conditions.
