Let's use common sense here, who is out of work? Have they been here longer than the guy that has the current job? Then take him out and put the guy who was in this country the longest in that place, A) he's done more for the country B) we need to start worrying more about the people we have in this country than the ones from other countries.

Decrease except where needs are high such as Doctors trained to the same or better standard as Canada.

 @9TNBDV8from British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

Decrease, and the companies applying should be obligated to train local workers to eventually take over after the temporary position.

 @9FJSRV9from Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Maintain as much as possible while still directing said workers to industries with a shortage of Canadian workers

 @9F7DNYYfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Increase, but only for industries with critical shortages of workers (such as the healthcare system)

 @9F5KMPVfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

Train more Canadians and prioritize Canadians when hiring. Do more to address the worker shortage within Canada using Canadians but use foreign temporary workers if necessary.

 @9D4R2DYfrom Quebec  answered…1yr1Y

Neither, current temporary foreign workers should be offered permanent residence and potential for citizenship

 @9QZCYDNfrom Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

Probably keep it the same, maybe increase it but only slightly. I also think work Visa programs should be more common and replace some of the temporary foreign worker program
