Canadian construction workers unhappy with immigration policies - Workpermit.com, UK
The 35,000 construction workers told reporters the current system of point assessment for skilled immigrants is disadvantageous to the industry because of the emphasis placed on higher education in the assessment.'
Union organiser Dario Di Sante, explained how this puts overseas construction workers at a disadvantage when applying for a Canadian Skilled Migration Visa because seldom do carpenters and drywallers hold degrees or diplomas.
"We need people who know how to do these jobs and are willing to work hard. There are a lot of people like that out there, but they cannot legally enter Canada. The Government must intervene and solve a situation that's rapidly becoming intolerable," said Local 183 Business Manager Tony Dionisio.------------------------------------------- posted 7:04 AM :: reference link ::
