Who's allowed into Canada to work right now (and who isn't)?

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Despite restrictions, immigration data shows more than 322,000 people were granted work permits under temporary foreign worker programs. The second largest number of permits went to migrant workers. What do the numbers suggest about Canada's priorities on immigration, especially in a pandemic? Who gets left out? Nicholas Keung, Toronto Star's an immigration reporter who often covers refugee issues, joins "This Matters" to talk through the numbers, what this means for permanent residents with dreams of citizenship and whether there is a fundamental shift underway with Canada's immigration policies.
