Divide between richer and poorer workers
Highly skilled workers on temporary permits in Canada have been given extended perks, such as not being tied to single employers, allowing their spouses to work upon immigrating to Canada and providing easier access to permanent residency. "They may come with lots of skills and lots of experience, but they're going into jobs that don't offer pathways for career advancement ... they're going into jobs that are not well paid.
"And yet ... those areas are often in very high demand, and they're not things that Canadian-born workers or immigrants who've been here for a longer period of time want to do."
