Tragic. This puts the public at risk. The only solution is to termiante the program to remove incentives to particiapte. Restrict Work Permits to those who undergo intensive training. No shortage of truckers in Canada.

Immigration consultants and trucking firms with sketchy safety records have found ways to exploit foreign job seekers, sometimes with tragic results when unprepared drivers are sent out on the road, a Globe investigation finds

Government needs to crack down on Chinese "agencies". Put them out of business! Clients who pay and succed and get Work Permits should also be prosecuted. Enough escuses and political correctness. Authorities know where problem lies.

A Toronto immigration company offered a job to an undercover journalist posing as a Chinese national seeking permanent residence in Canada for $170,000. For that fee, WonHonTa Consulting Inc. said, the would-be immigrant would be buying the job and paying their own wage.

Excellent points. But any change to point system is politically difficult. High taxes deterrent to high-wage earenrs. Trudeau's policy centered on promoting mediocrity and "meddle class" mantra, not exceptionalism.

While Canada’s points system recognizes specialized training in different professional categories, advanced degrees in STEM-related disciplines garner no extra points

Taxpayers should not subsidize ethnic media, or any media. Thsi is usued by the Liberal party for political manipulation. Withdraw all subsidies!

OPINION: The more Canadians learn about the priorities in the more than 800 ethnic-language media outlets, the more they’ll understand the diverse political forces in Canada.
