Restaurant Workers for Canada

"We need to stop saying all we need is engineers and doctors . We don't need doctors working in quick-service restaurants." ," said Justin Taylor, vice-president for labor and taxation at the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association (CRFA).

The Ontario food industry has been lobbying the provincial government to allow them to bring more foreign workers to Canada on work permits.

38 percent of restaurants and fast-food places couldn't fill positions during the summer of 2008 according to Taylor.

Two years ago, the CRFA told the federal government that immigration was vital in rescuing the CAD $50 billion food service industry.

Among the recommendations in their report were training temporary workers already in Canada, working on an immigration policy aimed at labor shortages, and increasing the number of temporary foreign workers.

The Canadian government has recognized that there are skills shortages, and that immigration can play a large role in dealing with these shortages.

One such recent attempt is the new Canadian Experience Class, which allows certain temporary workers and foreign graduates of Canadian universities to live in Canada permanently.

In addition, new immigration changes were announced recently that give the immigration minister more powers to fast-track applications for skilled immigration for people which occupations belongs to 38 Highly In Demand Lists of Canada.

Canada Immigration Target

Despite the current economic situation in Canada this will likely not affect the Government's target of up to 265,000 new immigrants for this year according to Immigration Minister Jason Kenney.

"For 2009, we're planning on maintaining at an even level our intake of permanent resident immigrants," Kenney told CTV's Power Play Wednesday.

"Last year, we brought in 247,000 permanent residents," he added. "And we anticipate and hope that it will be in the same range. Having said that, obviously the economy is very dynamic, it's moving a lot, and this may have unperceivable consequences for the immigration program."

There has been a net reduction of 101,000 jobs in Canada's manufacturing sector. However, for this year Ottawa is hoping that levels of immigration will be between 240,000 and 265,000:

* 156,600 in the economic class.
* 71,000 in the family class.
* 27,200 in the protected persons class.
* 10,200 on humanitarian grounds.

Kenney also said "Those are folks who tend to come here for one to two years on short-term contracts to fill jobs that employers have been unable to find Canadians for,". "That side of the immigration program we anticipate will see much less demand."

"I do intend to look at ways that we can reform our so-called in-country refugee system," he said. "We want to make sure people don't come here and try to jump the queue. They have to wait to come in as legal economic immigrants."
