Conservative MP Jamil Jivani has initiated a petition calling for the termination of Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), excluding the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program. The petition, launched on May 23, 2025, argues that the TFWP contributes to unsustainable immigration levels and impedes job opportunities for Canadians. With youth unemployment at 14%, Jivani connects the program to broader challenges, including overcrowded hospitals, housing crisis, and labour market strain. The government has responded by announcing plans to cap TFWP admissions at 82,000 workers annually from 2025 to 2027 while defending the program’s importance for specific industries.
