Quebec is implementing a six-month freeze on the intake of new temporary foreign workers for low-wage jobs in Montreal, starting in February. Premier François Legault announced the temporary suspension, which will also apply to application renewals by current workers in the city. Additionally, the government will be introducing a bill to restrict the number of international students entering the province this fall. This move comes as the Quebec government seeks a significant reduction in the number of temporary immigrants in the province. The measures have sparked responses from various stakeholders, and Global’s Franca Mignacca will provide more information on the implications of these changes.

Get rid of the scam accross the country, student visa scam fake degrees, if your businesses are built low wages too bad.
We need a freeze for the next 5 years!
Send them home
BC Should do the same.
Too little, too late.
Good, ❤
I guess the people who own houses and who don't have to deal with the lack of rental spaces really don't care, it's a few years too late with such a move, hope the other provinces follow suit…5 years would be better…
3,500 fewer migrants qualifies as a news story? What? How?
StatsCan says Canada's population is rising, solely due to migration, by 4,700 a day, or 1.7 million a year.😱 People can't find a doctor or a place to live, we're welcoming 1.7m migrants in 2024, and you're talking up our time with this?
Québec doesn't have the law enforcement capacity or carceral resources to stop foreigners from working in the province and reductions won't make a difference in the migration situation, which will only increase thanks to the White House, Washington and Wall Street? Prayers
Block them permanently
Too late, wages have already gone down about $4-5 per hour here
He's Donald Trump. Racist!
Finally, Alberta needs to do the same thing. With a youth employment rate of 16% these low wage fast food and other service type jobs can be filled with the unemployed youth in Canada that are in desperate need of a job.
Great, now they’ll all be shipped to Ontario
Everyone is turning on Trudeau and the Liberals. Liberals won't have a chance in the elections if Justin stays in as the leader.
Anything to make himself look good. This could've been done a couple years ago.. now they are doing it? lol
Too late. We have been invaded.
Une autre vrai farce de la CAQ!
Can we just close the borders for 10 years or longer? Kinda wanna see how culture evolves
I did not vote CAQ, but I think I just changed my mind. There is no "perfect" government, but at least they're taking steps in the right direction.
These people aren’t going to leave unless they are forced to go. Nobody has to leave Canada unless they want to. This doesn’t matter since a Trump win in the presidential election will send hundreds of thousands into Ontario and Quebec to avoid the mass deportations he has promised.
I just read an article where 42% of the workers are foreign students and 44% are post graduate students (and family members) working. TFWs are only about 6% (low income stream) I don't see how limiting TFWs will make a difference when over 80% of the workers coming in are students.
DEI initiatives are giving foreigners preferential treatment for hiring and student workers are subsidized at about $3/hr.
I agree with the fact that we don't need immigration when we have so many people who need help with housing and employment. Unfortunately for Quebec I believe that anyone who wants to come to Canada must of mastered the English language. The money used to educate newcomers to Canada would be better spent on local citizens with housing, education and training for better jobs.
Ontario still hasn't done it unbelievable
Why.?
The farmers and the people working have no say?
Why can’t Ontario do the same, Dougie, wake up!
It's time the rest of Canada take notice of Quebec's immigration, langage and culture safeguard policies
This means they are making room to get La creme de la crème coming from every part of Ontario and enrich you with spicy aromas
Good!
Hmmm everyone else can strike… maybe its time immigrants hold this nation hostage… heck seems the railway can…
The problem starts with the workers at the borders. How are pregnant Chinese women allowed to enter the county with the aim to birth here for Canadian citizenship?
We don’t need immigration for at least a couple of years in all of Canada with the exception of genuine healthcare workers
I was told life is way better in India and Pakistan so why are there so many of them in Canada medicare is cheaper is those countries so why crowd Canadian hospitals they get free money from the Canadian Goverment and can't even speak English why would you put so much stress on your life when you had a good life living in those countries someone is laundering money through these people.
I don’t know how he can implement this in practice immigrants can settle in other towns or just show address and still be in Montreal doesn’t make sense
🤚🏻
Good on Quebec, Randy Boisonnault approve it at Legault request lol
Put a 25 year ban and remove the ones here well your at it
What about the rest of Canada?
Good for Quebec, since the Feds are customarily asleep at the switch after having unleashed this plague on us.
