Here’s a weird quote from, Mark Miller, the immigration minister:
“We are just now starting to get some control over the student category, which is a very large part of that,” he said.
Doesn’t the federal government control the visa supply? Haven’t they had control all along?
Historically, student visas have been freely issued at will to any student who was accepted to a university or college program. This wasn’t an issue until about five years ago.
A lot of our laws, regulations, and policies were written assuming people would act in good faith. Unfortunately, that’s no longer good enough, and as a result, many corporations and provincial governments have started to take advantage of it, which has caused a lot of problems in Canadian society.
This should hit the TFW program right?
There’s a bunch of stuff about it in the article. In short: yes.
