A Canadian union is calling for existing temporary foreign workers to be allowed to stay in Canada as immigrants, as well as a complete overhaul of the controversial program.

No mentoring program existed at the University of B.C. (UBC) when Carmen Lee was studying political science in the 1990s and early 2000s.

A newcomer to the restaurant scene wants to turn the industry upside down by doing away with tipping — likely the first in Canada to do so.

Most B.C. businesses hiring temporary foreign workers (TFW) are seeking low-skilled employees for jobs in urban centres, according to a new website that maps out the distribution of companies approved for the controversial program.

While most employees report spending more time at work than in the past, fewer are taking the breaks they need to reenergize themselves to make them more productive, according to a May 7 report released by office supply giant Staples.
