This episode provides a multifaceted examination of Canada's temporary foreign worker (TFW) and international student programs. Several articles highlight a growing public and political discourse that scapegoats these groups for issues such as high youth unemployment, crowded public services, and housing shortages, despite their crucial role in filling labor gaps, especially in sectors like construction and care. A UN expert report criticizes the TFW program as a "breeding ground for contemporary forms of slavery," pointing to significant power imbalances, exploitation, and lack of worker rights due to employer-specific work permits. Meanwhile, an academic paper suggests that the expansion of the TFW program, particularly for low-skilled workers, exacerbates regional unemployment disparities by suppressing wage adjustments and discouraging internal labor migration.
