Ottawa extends time foreign workers can stay in Canada Canadian Press
VANCOUVER — Foreign workers coming to Canada on temporary work visas now can stay in the country longer.
The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development and the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration have announced temporary foreign workers can have their stay extended to 24 months, up from 12 months.
The application process will also be simplified, with application forms becoming available online starting April 1.
The Live-In Caregiver Program will be extended to three years and three months from one year.
In 2004, more than 90,000 foreign workers came to Canada.
ACHTUNG GUT FÜR TRUCKER UND SKILL LEVEL - C + D
The Program allows employers to hire temporary foreign workers when there are no Canadian citizens or permanent residents available for the positions. Previously, temporary foreign workers with less formal training would have to leave Canada after twelve months, for four months, and then re-apply to come back. With these changes, they can stay for up to twenty-four months without having to request an extension.

Zum Temporary Foreign-Worker Program gab es in der Samstagsausgabe einen Artikel in der "Globe and Mail" mit dem Titel: CANADA'S HOTTEST NEW IMPORT? EMPLOYEES.
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/s...-worker+program (Wie kann man denn einfach einen Link setzen, ohne diesen Rattenschwanz an URL? HTML-Code mit <a href etc. geht hier doch auch, oder nicht?) (Da der Link nach einigen Tagen nur noch zu einem Leseangebot fuehrt fuer das man zahlen muss, sollte man versuchen die Uebrschrift zu googlen. Meist gibt es den Artikel noch umsonst irgendwo im Netz.)
Aus dem Artikel geht hervor -wie viele Forumsteilnehmer ja wissen- dass sich eine Menge schwarze Schafe auf dem Feld des "Foreign Worker Recruitments" tummeln. Viele Arbeitssuchende zahlen offenbar eine Menge Geld an solche Firmen und werden dann ohne Betreuung im Regen stehen gelassen:
ZitatBut while the arrangement has worked well for the Sutherlands and their new employees, critics are concerned that the program, which isn't actively policed for abuse or problems, is being wildly overused and opening up foreign workers to exploitation. They are not legally entitled to government settlement services such as language courses, but in some cases are being charged thousands of dollars by private agencies to come here while others only pay for a plane ticket.
Zu diesem Missstand konnte es wegen des grossen Bedarfs an Arbeitskraeften, vor allem in Alberta, kommen. Die Agenturen schiessen wie Pilze aus dem Boden.
Zitat "The rules are a confusing mess and nobody seems to be in charge," complains Gil McGowan, president of the Edmonton-based Alberta Federation of Labour. "This program was meant to be a stopgap measure. And now the federal and provincial governments have put the program into overdrive without putting into place any of the necessary rules or safeguards."
In einem extremen Fall wird von Arbeitern aus Rumaenien berichtet, bei denen die Agentur 75% ihres Gehaltes einbehielt. Das klingt wie Sklavenhalterei:
Zitat Mr. McGowan, the labour leader, recently helped 14 Romanian welders and machinists who were being mistreated and scammed by their employment broker.
The men, who speak minimal English, were working for oil-field service companies near Edmonton. They claim the broker was breaking several labour laws, including illegally garnishing their weekly paycheques by 75 per cent. According to the workers' pay stubs, the broker was docking their pay for everything from furniture to transportation and rent.
Aber so schlimm muss es einem nicht ergehen, es gibt zum Glueck ja auch serioese Firmen. Im Artikel wird eine Firma "JIR Solutions" genannt. Vielleicht kann jemand das ja bestaetigen.
Allen die mit einem Temp. Foreign-Worker Visum nach Kanada gehen, viel Glueck bei der Arbeitssuche/Agentur etc. und viele gute und serioese Informationen und Angebote auf den Jobmessen wuenscht
