The Globe and Mail – Many Canadians Uneasy About Temporary Foreign Workers: Poll

Although most Canadians back the federal government’s response to the Syrian refugee crisis, there is significantly less appetite for allowing temporary foreign workers to take jobs for which Canadians are eligible, a new poll has found. The Globe and Mail/Nanos survey found that almost three in four Canadians oppose or somewhat oppose allowing temporary foreign workers into the country while Canadians qualified for those same jobs are looking for work. The scenario is somewhat supported by 17 per cent and supported by only 7 per cent.

Newfoundland’s place in the provincial strategy for taking in immigrants. Eight people from the St. Anthony area attended a discussion hosted by the Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism directo

It was a common theme around the table of the St. Anthony forum for immigration — rural Newfoundland’s place in the provincial strategy for taking in immigrants. Eight people from the St. Anthony area attended a discussion hosted by the Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism director Debbie Sheppard. […] Each year, the province is allowed to nominate 1,050 individuals for immigration, with 550 of those being express entry positions of specialized training.

The closing has also put 45 teachers and more than a dozen staff out of work.
