The Department of Employment said in a briefing note that it distributed a record-high number of foreign worker permits in 2021 despite auditors warning that increasing immigration in the workforce would displace Canadian jobs.
Employment Minister Carla Qualtrough and department staff said in the note titled “Labour Market Impact Assessment Processing” that Canadian employers had a greater need for migrant workers during the pandemic than ever before, according to the documents obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.
