Just how smart was Justin Trudeau's immigration policy?

The failing Liberal status quo can no longer cut it, not when we face institutional failures on every front, generations being left without homes and hope, and millions grow sicker on wait lists each day.

It's time to stand with Canadian workers, and stand up for Canada's future.

Canada’s immigration system is spiraling out of control, with unsustainable levels of immigration undermining Canadian workers, suppressing wages, and straining our economy. The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) is a key driver of these issues, flooding the job market with over 160,000 new work permits issued from January to October 2024 alone. This program allows businesses to hire foreign workers at lower wages and in unfavourable conditions, taking entry-level jobs—especially in sectors like food service and retail—away from Canadians, particularly our youth.

Youth unemployment (ages 15-24) skyrocketed to over 14% in 2024, the highest in over a decade outside the COVID-19 period. In Toronto alone, unemployed youth surged 50% in two years. Businesses like Tim Hortons hired at least 714 temporary foreign workers in Ontario in 2023, up from just 58 in 2019, intensifying competition for jobs that young Canadians rely on to start their careers or provide for their families.

The TFWP and Canada's fraudulent 'diploma mill' network not only hold down wages but also sideline Canadian workers. While seasonal agricultural workers play a vital role in our food security and should be treated as a separate program, the broader TFWP and non-permanent resident abuse must end to protect Canadian jobs, ensure fair wages, and ensure social cohesion in our cities and communities.

To restore balance, prioritize Canadians, and to respect the generations of proud Canadian immigrants who arrived on points, shared values, and who worked hard for their Canadian Dream, we, the undersigned, call on the Government of Canada to adopt Responsible Immigration policies, including:
