Immigration Confab Asks If Immigration Is Working, Maybe not

[dumpthemonarchy]

Not usually if you are a competent and industrious employee and have skills and a work ethic that are in demand. Too many people starting work these days want to know when pay day is and when their vacation starts on day one. :smile:

What about the non-union suppliers to the auto industry? Were all the layoff due to the errors of all these suppliers to the big 2.5 an issue of incompetence? Or your boss sells the business, are the former employees incompetent there too? To have business success, you have business failures, which creates unemployment in our fast chainging modern world.

I'm not into rewarding people who don't want to work, which EI currently does. Fairer and better EI would reduce the need for immigration. All those lazy people out there obviously don't work enough and don't have good jobs and need an incentive to get moving toward gainful employment.

We would rather import people from Asia than give a kick in the ass to Canadians. That's lazy too.

To start with we need some immigration to take jobs, that we cannot do special training.
Our Governments have seen fit to shut down many of the apprentice and special job skill
courses or make them unaffordable. Now we need to import people to do those jobs.
em.

Yes, I agree, but we have to do a better job on who we are immigrating.

For instance, why are we immigrating Taxi drivers?? And if they are so well qualified to do their profession here, why don't they get their proffesional status certified for Canada, before they come here ??
