some employers in Alberta have been charging $30,000 to workers to get onto an LMIA and I have heard upwards of $80,000 in Vancouver. This is obviously a number that is far higher than what anyone can afford, so there are loan 'sharks' involved along the way. This has an effect of pay-for-entry into Canada. The rules allow for fees to be charged for the work permits and for relocation services. You are not allowed to charge for an LMIA to the worker. However, what happens is that the worker will pay for the work permit and the LMIA gets done "for free" in many instances. The first time I ever saw this was when a large fast food chain was hiring staff and the company I was with at the time lost the contract (We were charging $3,500 per hire to the company, not to the worker, for a 500 person contract.) We lost the contract because the HR person and the agency in the foreign country found a way to charge the worker fees that we later found out were $8,000 per person over 500 people for a total of $4,000,000 dollars.

Justin Trudeau along with his minority Liberal party and Jagmeet Singh along with his minority NDP formed the “conspire&coverup” making them a far left wacko majority government. Together they have caused nothing but chaos in Canada. Deliberately brought in mass immigration, temporary workers and foreign students. So many people that they don’t even know where they all are. A few of them were assassins and terrorists. Any and all inquiries obstructed by Trudeau and Singh via their agreement. Canada cannot wait until October of 2025 to make them non status parties.

I started addressing this issue back in 2015 seeing a trend where the LMIA was being taken advantage of. This in turn is responsible for Canadian salaries going stagnant since 2018, and why many families are having difficulties coping with the cost of living increases. The difference between salaries in Canada and the USA is something to start taking seriously, and the only wage that enjoys frequent increments shouldn't just be minimum wage. Bringing in excessive immigration contributes to wage suppression, because if a candidate isn't willing to accept a drop in Salary, there will be someone who is new to Canada who will. We need a organization who can be a "Watch Dog", to address this issue ASAP.

Mr Poilievre, for the most part you have my support at this point however Stephen Harper brought foreign trade workers to Canada under his watch. I am a conservative at heart and I agree that Trudeau and his Cronies are the most corrupt government this country has ever seen but the conservatives were guilty of doing the same thing you are bringing to light in this post. What are you going to do to convince Canadians that you are going to turn things around and not be any different than any of the previous conservatives that were in power? I believe you will either be the best Prime Minister this country has ever seen or you will be no different that anyone before you. I hope that you do the right thing and do what is right morally for Canadians rather than be in the back pockets of large corporations and allow yourself to be a puppet for the elites who run the globe.

how does one admit over 1 million people a year when it takes months for Canadians to get a passport?

Not to mention they subsidize the wages of these new comers so small businesses choose the foreign worker over citizens. My son almost lost his job until we contacted the employer and threatened to go public. Wake up people!The liberal party of Canada’s climate goals.1) destabilize the population so they can’t see what we are doing to them2) use whatever means possible to financially break the citizens3) feed, water, jab, drug, lab leak… the citizens with as much poison and garbage as possible until they are so sick they wish they were dead4) if the above hasn’t killed them, offer the citizen an easy path to assisted suicide and replace them with foreigners who are easier to controlBrought to you by the #liberalpartyofcanada

This is not only.a food service problem, but is starting in construction as well. Subsidized wages are wrong the small firms can't compete against companies that can hire 2 to 1 for the same labour cost.

Base on how the NDP/LIB coalition managed screw up our country, there should be new legislation passed where it is illegal for two Federal or Provincial parties to form a coalition government.
