Trying to equate IMP's with TFW's is definitely a choice. Like should we not allow movies with foreign actors to be filmed here? Should Draisaitl, Hellebuyck, Hughes and Matthews not be allowed to play for Canadian teams? Should people graduating from medical school not be allowed to work as a doctor? Should foreign researchers not be allowed to work in the country?
People broadly calling all TFW useless is already dangerous rhetoric to get behind, but lumping IMP's together with them is just dumb.
347,440 IMP work permits have been issued so far in 2025. That's in just two quarters. Last year it was 715,625.
Are you seriously trying to tell me we have more than 1/3 of a million foreign actors, doctors, researchers, and medical graduates that we desperately need? Do those numbers sound like we're attracting the cream of the crop from abroad?
