Conservative MP Fights Temporary Foreign Worker Program with Petition
Thursday, May 22, 2025, 6:21 pm
A Conservative MP has taken a bold stance against Canada’s temporary foreign worker program, launching a petition that decries the program for allegedly displacing Canadian workers and suppressing wages. The move has sparked heated debates over whether the initiative mirrors a misguided shortcut into long-standing immigration issues.
Conservative MP Jamil Jivani has launched a petition to end the temporary foreign worker program. The petition says the temporary foreign worker program is a "large contributor" to an unsustainable level of immigration and claims the program is taking jobs away from Canadians and suppressing wages.
In a social media post, Jamil Jivani links immigration to doctor shortages, crowded hospitals, the housing crisis and a challenging job market
