An increasingly “desperate” labour shortage is the main obstacle keeping companies from becoming more competitive. An aging work force and growing demand for specialized skills means that hundreds of thousands of jobs are going begging despite stubbornly high unemployment, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce concludes in a report being released Wednesday.
The umbrella term “temporary foreign worker” covers upward of a quarter of a million people coming to Canada from 80 countries every year. Many are recruited by private agencies that run the gamut from respected international organizations to tiny operations accused of charging exorbitant fees for the privilege of a short-term, minimum-wage job in Canada.
After 20 years of attracting nearly 60 per cent of all newcomers to Canada, Ontario’s share of immigration is in steep decline and threatens to intensify the province’s economic struggles. The first population figures from the 2011 census will be released Wednesday and they’re expected to show that Ontario’s rate of growth has dropped.

The personal information of hundreds of new Canadians may have been misused during the planning of a citizenship ceremony televised on the Sun News network, say privacy and immigrant advocates. Bureaucrats at Citizenship and Immigration Canada were directed by minister Jason Kenney’s office last fall to organize a citizenship reaffirmation ceremony at the Toronto-based station on short notice. New citizens were to re-take their oath for the show.

Winnipeg’s globe-trotting human rights lawyer David Matas is trying to help thousands of Sri Lankan refugees stuck in limbo in Indonesia and Malaysia, including a dozen families hoping to come to Winnipeg. “If you had to start somewhere, I’d say get the kids out of jail and let them go to school,” said Matas […] who went with fellow Winnipegger Sam Ratna, a member of the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam. They’re trying to find a safe, permanent home for 200,000 displaced people. The Tamils can’t go back to Sri Lanka and they’re not welcome to stay where they are now, Matas said in a 42- page report.
