If you think there's no manipulation taking place, particularly on the issue of the availability of qualified Canadian workers, you're kidding yourself. To stand an equal chance at good employment, tens of thousands of highly qualified Canadian IT workers, for instance, have migrated to Silicon Valley (the world's IT capital), where they're valued and appreciated, unlike at home where they're merely expendable. On a proportionate basis, qualified Canadians far outnumber Indian and Chinese IT workers in Silicon Valley. Now, of course, the Trudeau government has "eased" the rules for employers who want to hire TFWs (i.e. reducing the onus to prove a lack of qualified Canadians), which I guess reduces the necessity for deception and outright gives foreign workers prioritized access to many jobs in this country. Meanwhile, qualified and ambitious Canadians will continue to be forced to migrate to work and establish businesses elsewhere.
