A work permit is needed for most temporary jobs in Canada, though for some positions and business people it is not necessary. Do you feel that Canada should be encouraging temporary foreign workers? Why or why not? (2 marks)

I’m not against foreign workers in Canada by any stretch of the means; I am however against our government promoting jobs in which we do not have. In this economy, we are having a hard of enough time giving our own citizens jobs, let alone encouraging foreign workers. I think Canada should hold off on encouraging citizens of other countries to come and get jobs here, until all Canadians who are searching for a job, have a job.
