'Nobody's applying': How immigration cuts are leaving some P.E.I. businesses short-staffed this summer | CBC News

Temporary foreign workers in P.E.I. report fraud and abuse, but only 10 employers have faced penalties | CBC News

I wanted to share this article about job scams involving LMIAs. It talks about some employers being penalized by the federal government for abusing the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
It makes me wonder if this is an even bigger issue in bigger cities, and why some employers choose to abuse the TFW program instead of hiring locals..
