Further revisions to the TFWP are expected this week (Jan. 18?). They should address the issue of the employer-specific work permit. The current program is very flawed. However, revisions are urgently required to provide fairness for workers already in Canada, including providing what the PM has described as "a clear path to citizenship." The notion of bringing foreign workers to Canada if employers are unable to find Canadians willing to do the work (a real, not made-up, problem) is justifiable; but if a worker is good enough to work in Canada, she/he should be good enough to stay. Bottom line: drop the "temporary" designation; allow all incoming workers to become "permanent."
