...Temporary foreign worker program – Tim Hortons Introduced in 2002 and modified in 2007, this program allows employers to hire employees in occupations that usually require at most a high school diploma or a maximum of 2 years of job specific training. Visas maybe issued for 24 months. Employers are required to cover recruitment and return airfare costs, to ensure that suitable accommodation is available, to provide medical coverage until the employee is covered under a provincial plan and to sign an employee/employer contract. The work permit is issued with reference to a specific employer. Employees generally work in sectors such as cleaning, hospitality, manufacturing, oil and gas and construction. (Elgersma, 2007) Tim Hortons "is a company that a lot of Canadians identify with and it is very proudly a Canadian brand," says Howard Ramos, an associate professor of sociology at Dalhousie University in Halifax. "But it's also a company that is a pioneer in hiring temporary foreign workers and so for this reason I think it's important to highlight Tim Hortons as an exemplar of how the temporary foreign worker program has changed and expanded. (Davison, 2012) The temporary foreign worker program has man is a resort companies use to hiring as they will have exhausted all other avenues for finding employees locally. It is a great program mainly for foreign workers who come and work in Canada and if they like it here they can apply for permanent residency. Unlike immigrants...

...The definition of peace is different for each and every individual. According to Johan Galtung, with the agreement of any other peace theorists, peace is not just the absence of war. Peace is obtained through justice in all forms. Peace is different for a country of great power to the developing countries, “’…peace to the people in developing countries means not only the absence of disorder and injustice from the society… but also nonintervention in domestic affairs by big powers and unhampered economic development’” (Diokno 6-7). The Philippines belongs to these developing countries, and a region in this country, Mindanao, has been on pursuit for lasting peace. This is the kind of peace the people in Mindanao called the Bangsamoro people, has been longing for. The conflict in Mindanao between the Government and the Bangsamoro people is the second longest-running in the world. It started more than four hundred years ago during the Spanish occupation. It was then continued by the Americans when Mindanao was not granted independence (Diokno 4). Even after the entire Philippines was granted independence, there were still problems that generated conflict. It carried on over the years through different administrations, including the present one, and it has not yet been resolved. There are still many which seemed as endless counts of infringement of the Bangsamoro that could be heard over the news along with countless reports of hostilities. It is important to identify the root...

...Jhumpa Lahiri portrays a number of couple in this award winning collection but these five couples are mainly chosen for this paper, whose marriages affect due to lack of communication or miscommunication or due to inability or unwillingness to communicate. Shoba and Shukumar in ―A Temporary Matter‖suffer from their breakdown of communication together, after the trauma of losing their child and their inability to discuss their feeling over this loss. However, the communication breakdown in ―Interpreter of Maladies‖ is visible more from Mrs. Das‘s side than her husband‘s and it complicates their malady of marriage, mainly because it leaves her husband unaware of Mr. Das indifference and mere disgust towards him on the one hand, and on the other he is unaware of the infidelity and illegitimate son she keeps in secret. However, in the marriage of Mr. Kapasi, the absence of communication and constant silence become routine and none of the partners is able to change it The breaking down of communication also leads to inability to compromise, which is the case of Sanjev in ―This Blessed House‖, who cannot fully express his opinion and dissatisfaction with Twinkle‘s actions and her lack of care for the household....

...In the story, “A Temporary Matter”, Shoba, the wife, reveals to her husband, Shukumar, at the climax of the story that she was planning on moving out. The loss of their child is a key factor in this decision but it is no where near the only factor, and I argue that it is not the main one. One cause of the relationship deteriorating the way it did was the fact that Shukumar was missing in action through most of the day. Shoba and Shukumar had difficulty spending time together because he was always working and Shoba was always distant. While this did not in any way cause the death of the unborn child, Shukumar not being there during the birth was what I believe, a key factor in the decision that Shoba made to move on from the relationship. Despite Shoba letting Shukumar go on his business trip, I believe he should have stayed and help Shoba which is what most believe people in healthy relationships do. This was a bad move on Shukumar’s because it is eventually what caused Shoba’s mother and most readers to dislike the character. He was not there to console and comfort Shoba over the loss of their child. One of the other key factors that caused the relationship to crumble is that even after the death of their child, they both became isolated from the world and more importantly from each other. The lack of communication between both of them made it extremely difficult for the two to simply move on. I believe In order for a relationship to grow and work, there needs to be communication...

...Ann, is struggling for inner satisfaction and happiness in her marriage. Her name is used only once in the literary work illustrating that she has very little individuality; she feels she is simply an extension of her husband, John. Her motivation is caused by her selfish attitude and propensity to focus on John's flaws; this derives from her desire for John to change. As a farmer's wife she feels an increasing isolation, especially during winter months with "the silence weighing upon her" (Ross 139) and "the clock [that] tick[s] on like a glib little idiot" (166). Ann's perception of John and her isolation motivates her decision to sleep with Steven. In the story “A Temporary Matter” we see a couple that has lost the spark in their relationship after Shoba gave birth to a still borne, ultimately leading to her ending the relationship with Shukumar. Both of these stories show how any relationship, if not kept healthy, honest, and maintained can lead to a lack of trust or in severe cases, a breakup. Both Shukumar and Waythorn experience a sense of isolation in their marriages, yet Shukumar is the character who has to endure more by the ending of the story, due to a broken heart, the dependence on his wife and the time he invested in their relationship. 1) What does the darkness symbolize for Shoba and Shukumar and how does it affect their relationship? For Shoba and Shukumar, the darkness represents an opportunity for them to reconnect and avoid the troubles and grief of the day...

Many temporary workers also transition into permanent residents through various programs and are therefore relevant to the understanding or economic immigration policy and trends.

The IMP aims to further Canada’s economic interests, fulfil its trade agreements and allows workers to either change employer but stay in a certain industry...

Temporary workers are individuals who are employed by organisations to fulfil job roles when they are in demand. Temporary employees may work full-time or part-time, for one week or several, depending on whether or not the organisation requires their labour.

...for the companies. Workers with the H-2B visas provide services or labor and the job is temporary. The employer must show that the worker has not performed the service in the past and will not be needed in the future. Seasonal employees are needed, so the employer must claim seasonal work and must show that the service of labor for a season of the year of a recurring nature. With this being seasonal, the employer must state that the labor is unpredictable, subject to change, or considered a vacation period for the employer’s permanent employees. Workers with the H-2B are authorized on the temporary labor certification, for increments of up to 1 year each, and the maximum period of stay is 3 years. With the H-2B employee stayed for a period of 3 years, they must depart and remain outside of the U.S. for an uninterrupted period of 3 months, before seeking readmission. Sometimes companies are unable to fill all vacant seasonal jobs with temporary and contract workers, or workers for limited assignments. The advantages of this is that they will be temporary employees, which gives the employers of flexibility to operate when the demand of employees are needed. A temporary employee cost less, frees the employer from administrative tasks and financial burdens, and saves the businesses money, by cost of employee benefits. The disadvantages of this are full-time employees perceive temporary workers as threats to their own jobs security, which can interfere with...
