2) The Canadian Constraction Association (CCA) calling for changes to immigration system

Letter by the CCA requests the Federal Government look closely at improving Canada 's immigration system with “meaningful reform” facilitating entry into Canada 's booming construction industry.

Construction is the single largest industry sector in Canada and it is also experiencing the greatest unfilled labour demand. According to the Construction Sector Council, in the next eight years, roughly 150,000 people will be required to meet impending worker shortages.

Due to the unwavering demand for skilled trades people, the CCA is formally asking the federal government to introduce changes to the immigration system that will facilitate entry of construction workers into Canada on both a temporary and permanent basis.

"Although aggressive efforts by all industry players must continue in order to recruit Canadians to the construction industry, the fact remains that immigration policy must play a bigger role in meeting future labour demand," explains Michael Atkinson, President of the Canadian Construction Association.

In its request to Prime Minister Harper, CCA is issuing the following
recommendations:

• Canada needs to adopt a proactive immigration policy that will
target individuals with needed skills, and expedite their entry into Canada .


• The points system used to screen for permanent residents
must be revised to put greater emphasis on experience and
arranged employment in specific high demand skills categories.


• Under the Temporary Worker Program, the list of accepted
occupations must be expanded to include construction trades, and
there must also be quicker recognition of shortages that would qualify
under the Temporary Worker Program.

• A program similar to the existing ‘Seasonal Agricultural Worker
Program' (SAWP) should be available to the construction industry.


• A process should be developed to resolve the issue of
undocumented workers that does not involve deportation.


• The federal government needs to work more closely with provinces to expand the ‘Provincial Nominee Programs' addressing the specific needs of Canada 's construction trades.

3) Goverment asked to stop all deportations of all undocumented workers

The House of Commons committee (HCC) on citizenship and immigration is calling on the Federal Government of Canada to stop all deportations of undocumented workers until a new immigration policy is established.

Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) Ed Komarnicki has filed a recusant report in response to the HCC official request, stating that the proposed moratorium could actually encourage lawbreakers, and will also compromise the integrity of Canada's immigration system. What’s more, the Federal Government has already acknowledged its intention to "crack down" on so-called "Queue-jumpers" and is on track to deport about 10,000 people this year alone.

Although stopping short of proposing a "blanket amnesty", some government officials believe that a viable alternative lies in bringing "out-of-status" immigrants into the legal and social fold. However, Immigration Minister Monte Solberg has officially ruled out a "blanket amnesty” program for the tens of thousands of undocumented workers employed in Canada's bustling underground economy. He says that Ottawa does not want to encourage people to come to the country illegally.

The irony in all this is that Canada is desperate to attract foreign skilled labourers to fill the shortages in key Canadian industries such as construction, oil, and gas. Yet, we are shipping thousands of undocumented foreign workers back home who have already successfully integrated themselves into Canadian society.

Some of these foreign workers claim they are here illegally because Canada's immigration system doesn't work for them. The federal immigration system is designed to adhere to a stringent set of rules that awards points for criteria such as education and experience. Not all trades-people necessarily fit into such an eligibility model. "The vast majority of foreign construction workers have no hope of entering Canada under the current points system, because it is biased in favor of academic qualifications and not skilled trades," explains Andy Manahan, spokesman for the Universal Workers Union.

Many non-governmental organizations (NGOs), as well as some outspoken government critics, believe that the Conservative agenda in regards to deportation does not benefit Canada in the least. Proponents of legalizing "out-of-status" workers say that it costs money to "remove" these individuals, both to the government and to the employers for whom they work. Policy critics also believe that it chokes healthy Canadian industries. Builders and construction developers say that deporting all undocumented workers could seriously undermine Canada's economic interests.

Solberg adds that Ottawa is working closely with the provinces to ensure labor market needs are being met. "We understand the process doesn't work well for a lot of people. We're trying to fix that," he explains to reporters in Ottawa. "[…] the ideal situation is for people to go through the [immigration] process. The idea […] is for people to play by the rules and get in line like everyone else..." He says.

The United States is going through its own illegal immigration trouble. Lawmakers there have met the quandary by passing a controversial bill in the U.S. Senate this week that gives status to the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants. Solberg has ruled-out introducing similar legislation here in Canada explaining that his government has their "own ideas on that," and offering no further details on the matter.

Estimates on the number of illegal foreign workers who make up Canada's growing "underground economy" range as high as 200,000. No official number has ever been given to this dilemma because it is next to impossible to put a human toll on this issue.

The Ontario Construction Secretariat estimates that the province alone loses over 1.5 billion dollars in unpaid taxes and premiums annually to the underground immigrant economy. Amid deportation hearings, officials in Canada are wondering what to do with all these illegal workers.

I kakvo znachi kvalificirani stroiteli?.

Ами хора със сетификати за извършване на дадена строителна дейност. Не е все едно дали ще наемеш водопроводик с 3 месеца стаж или с 10 години, примерно. В България едно врем еси имаше категории ,и за всяка категория се полагаше изпит.

[Aries]

Също така не е все едно дали ще пристигне човек прекарал живота си на строежи (т.е. свикнал с тази работа и вършещ я с удоволствие) или някой, който и в родната му страна е лежал и чакал за помощи.
