Educational institutions & government should join to evaluate the need for skilled workers, then provide $$$ incentives such as free tuition & small living allowance to Canadians willing to train to fill these gaps. We have too many unskilled, unemployed arts degrees, and educators are still pushing students to a prestigious ARTS program.

 @4VQ296Sfrom British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

Our education system should be tailored to the job market. Too much utter waste of artsy fartsy programs when people can't find a plumber.

Decrease until the rate of growth in housing and infrastructure can balance with immigration

 @95SFXHSfrom Ontario answered…2yrs2Y

Priority should be given to young Canadians wanted to step in and have an opportunity VS sourcing it all elsewhere.

I knew this guy who lived in bc for 2 years but couldn't buy a car or anywhere special because he couldn't get his visa or something from India so he had to work on an under the table job site to help pay for stuff, he was the best worker I've ever seen but he always got the short end of the stick and quit because our boss was kinda crazy, anway there need to be more work visas before that was really unfortunate

 @8ZVMXF6from Alberta answered…2yrs2Y

Decrease, and the government should provide more opportunities to prepare our citizens for these jobs, specifically doctors...

 @8VCNMXYfrom British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

Routine federal check ups on businesses using this program to make sure they are not exploiting immigrant employees

 @8VBQPPSfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Increase with more incentives where companies are held accountable if they take advantage

 @8TYWMFPfrom Saskatchewan answered…3yrs3Y

Increase, but only after cracking down on companies exploiting foreign workers.

 @Steeviemacfrom British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

Increase, but only for occupations that are not filled by qualified Canadian citizens.

  @8TXVXMLfrom British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

Maintain, unless there is a huge need for specific jobs to be filled.

 @8TXCC9Yfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Target high skilled workers but ensure that companies cant take advantage to decrease wages

 @8TX8MG3from British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

It should be dependant on an audit of high skilled jobs, should only be used to create a robust economy. Not to cannibalize the prospects of Canadians

 @8TX6Z4Nfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Increase but with more governance over the ratio of Canadian citizen workers

 @8TX5JVBfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Regardless, the government should do more to penalize companies that are taking advantage if this program to decrease wages

 @8TWXBFCfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

I am satisfied with the current amount, No welfare or work for Welfare would make adults go to school to improve themselves.

 @8TWKYGXfrom Quebec answered…3yrs3Y

Increase the amount while prohibiting companies from taking advantage of this program to decrease wages

 @8TV83B9from British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

Increase but government should increase assistance for citizens to get these jobs also

 @8TV3Z3Yfrom British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

Whoever working, whether an immigrant or citizen should be paid the same. And the most qualified people should be the ones with the job.

 @8TTGRBPfrom Prince Edward Island answered…3yrs3Y

Increase, but ONLY when there are verifiable actual shortages of skilled domestic employees in the industry, not just when industries are crying and whining, looking for cheap labor to exploit.

 @8TPZYQ5Greenfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Increase, however Canada should also give an opportunity to low-skilled immigrant workers to assist them in finding a job suitable for them to be able to live here.

 @8TP8W83from Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Increase, and prevent companies from giving them lower wages than other people.

 @8TJQYBBfrom British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

Only if they can prove there's nobody in Canada with the right qualifications and skills and work ethic to do the job

 @8TJDQSVfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

 @9JWZHWWfrom Saskatchewan answered…1mo1MO

Neither increase or decrease, instead the government should combat that despite record profits companies and businesses are laying off dozens upon dozens of people. Companies take advantage of both high-skilled immigrant workers and Canadian citizen workers by paying lower wages because of people's desperate need for work.

 @9JWQKH8from Saskatchewan answered…1mo1MO

We should always be looking for local talent. There should be a small percentage compared to minority. ex: 3% be foreign workers or even 11% and the rest be minority. we do this to minimize and have fair trade.

 @9GZYG4Jfrom Quebec answered…4mos4MO

Regardless, improving immigration rules, citizenship test, border control and accepting anyone who's not a criminal or a national threat, also imposing no limit amount of immigrants or legal residents would make this question irrelevant.

 @9GYSNHDfrom Nova Scotia answered…5mos5MO

Decrease, educational institutions and the government should join to elevate the need for skilled workers, then provide incentives such as free tuition and small living allowance to Canadians willing to train to fill these gaps.

 @9G2PHDKfrom Ontario answered…6mos6MO

Increase but place restrictions on allowing companies to take advantage of this program to decrease wages.

 @9G28PF4from Ontario answered…6mos6MO

Increase, with a proper background check and screening of their record at their current country as well as paying them what a person who would have that job as a citizen of Canada

 @9FPG8CXfrom Alberta answered…6mos6MO

Skilled immigrants are important, but the biggest problem right now is housing/cost of living! We need more houising supply! Because of that, a slight decrease is necessary.

 @9FP3QX2from Ontario answered…6mos6MO

Increase for now, but visa green cards should not be a requirement for immigration.

 @9F9XLSYConservativefrom Ontario answered…7mos7MO

Increase, as long as their education is verified via stringent professional testing

 @9F5KMPVfrom Alberta answered…7mos7MO

Maintain the current amount but give free education and job training to lessen the need for foreigner highly skilled workers in the future.

 @99VVCCYConservativefrom Ontario answered…1yr1Y

Have the required amount don't add more and encourage it but don't discourage it. In essences the Government should stay out and not have any involvement.

 @9973S5Bfrom Alberta answered…1yr1Y

Decrease until Canada's infrastructure catches up with the current population ie. hospitals, schools etc

 @985XDY2New Democraticfrom Alberta answered…1yr1Y

Make training affordable and guarantee jobs for current citizens first

 @96G9CJWNew Democraticfrom Newfoundland answered…1yr1Y

Provincially protect own workers and train younger citizens in highly skilled areas, let these highly skilled workers teach us

 @95YV2DZfrom British Columbia answered…2yrs2Y

Increase, but also increase the ability for less-skilled laborers to stay permanently if they wish.
