True. Media, uff they are always like this in any country. They try to create sensational news and on top of it, they try to control the govt decision. If they can deliver the judgement and rules, why do need govt at all. Same is the case with tfw. I have been using google news on hourly basis to find out the latest happenings. The topic tfw never goes out of lime light in Canadian websites.stopDA said:
Guessing is very good game when it comes to this case. My guess and gut feeling is that the changes will be announced by end of this month. I have learnt that kenney is very aggressive minister. So I don't think he will keep quite for months. However, the rules he might bring may be harsh for foreign workers. This is just my opinion.zardoz said:
I just read a few hours ago that he's thinking of increasing advertising times and processing fees for obtaining an LMO. Apparently, $275 and 4 weeks advertising isn't enough for him. As for this review, if he doesn't make a decision by the end of this month, then I'd really have to say that he's dragging his feet. Two weeks is still a bit early, but my expectations are more along the lines of 3 - 4 weeks with the 22nd being the latest date. But I'll be a bit more generous and give him until the end of the month before I can safely say that he's dragging his feet and screwing around in regards to lifting this moratorium.Intocanada said:
Nah, I suspect that Mr. Kenney is doing his best and trying his hardest to get back to business as usual. It's just really hard to be sure of anything when the entire LMO process and moratorium review process occurs behind closed doors. The wait would certainly be a lot easier if we had a general idea of the underlying dynamics governing overall decisions and processing/review times. Sorry if I came off as a bit of a jerk lately with my posts, but this moratorium really caused me a whole lot of serious trouble and did a lot of damage. All the hate directed at foreign workers in recent weeks didn't prove to be of much consolation to this issue.stopDA said:
I agree most Canadians have a very unfavouriable idea of the program. What do you expect when for the past 4-5 years all we have heard about the program is reports of Canadians being replaced by TFW, TFW being abused by Employers, and the Canadian government failing at every step to do anything about. In fact the Harper Government has increased the numbers of TFW in unskilled positions and gone to court to fight agaisnt Canadian workers and in favour of corrupt law-breaking corporations! It's completely shameful how the Government has handled this issue.stopDA said:
I agree with everything you said. the TFW program has been a disaster and needs to be revamped entirely to only allow the marginal number of educated, highly skilled TFW's to continue to migrate to Canada.kafka khaos said:
oh yeah, well why won't CBC stick to reporting the news objectively instead of being biased in favor of scrapping the entire program. Whenever they try to report on the other side of the story, they always stuff the article with their opinions about how the program is so bad, and they continue to perpetuate myths about the program in order to mold public opinion against the program. Plus, I'm tired of them referring to foreign workers as "imports" as if we're inanimate disposable objects. For crying out loud, we're human beings just like you.kafka khaos said:
