      It’s an extremely extremely bad situation out there.

      Yes we need massive reforms (further reforms) to programs like the Temporary Foreign Worker Program/LMIA Process, International Student Program, International Mobility Program/PGWP, and others.

      That being said we also need to figure out how to deal with further developments in AI, automation/robotics, and in general technological development.

      I worry that if we don’t start on new frameworks around this we are going to see some frightening levels of inequality in this and other nations and as such domestic stability becoming worse and worse.

      Affordability of life/Quality of life just can’t be for a select small few.

      AI screening resumes that AI wrote, and AI likely sent out. Then if you get through you might have to do a one-way interview and recording yourself answering those god awful behavioural questions, and that video is then analyzed by an AI that decides if you get an ACTUAL interview. Couple that with an economy that’s about to dive off a cliff. And yes, the TFW program, which was created just so companies could have dirt cheap labour because Canadians knew damn well better to do these jobs for near minimum wage.

      I’m applied last year and this year for Co-op placements, and last year after 100 applications I got 3 interviews. One in person, one virtual, and a one-way one. I’m an electrical engineering student, one of the 3 engineering disciplines that are seemingly always in need and I can’t get an interview to save my damn life. Maybe it’s partly the applicants fault, but with everyone experiencing the same thing, applicants aren’t the problem. The companies are.

      And yet despite it all, despite the massive industry wide layoffs, the surging rates of unemployment, the surging food bank usage and raising rates of homelessness… nobody wants to admit that we’re in a recession.

      Our politicians been allowed to cook the definition of that so much since 2008 that what should clearly be a recession isn’t listed as one.

      When applying for work recently, I applied for 150 jobs. I applied online, I handed out my resume at malls, and door to door in Banff. Through all of that I got one job interview. The interviewer left me for a call halfway through the interview and didn’t return.

      I finally got a job through my aunt’s company. I’m just thankful to be employed, and I can’t imagine what it would be like for people who aren’t as fortunate to have my family situation.
