additional FYI to you guys...this is the root why there was a sudden change with what was planned (skills program)...the reversal on the rule on the temporary foreign labour decision is coming from the canadian federal government due to the abuse of the system by the local canadian companies...so sad that it affected everyone hoping to come to canada thru the "TFW"...this decision came public on April 29, 2013...at this time, it's a wait and see, but don't lose hope because "welders" are scarce in canada and no one from the young generation is willing to work and be trained as welders...
