So much for Harpers pledge of transparency - how many "old stock" Canadians can't find work because of his policies of driving down salaries?

Want New Temporary Foreign Worker Data? Pay Up, Feds Say

Government vowed to post info each quarter, now says it costs cash.

Anyone who wants to know how many temporary foreign workers have come to Canada in the first half of 2015 will have to pay to find out, according to Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

The request for payment comes more than a year after Employment and Social Development Canada, a separate department, promised it would publicly post such data each quarter in a press release detailing changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.

Instead, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) told The Tyee it must pay a cost recovery fee for information about the number of permits issued for foreign workers in 2015. That's despite freely posting the numbers up to the end of 2014.

CIC said the employment ministry's promise to post data doesn't apply to it.

The government mades changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program in June 2014 after public outcry over employers using it to pay lower wages to foreign workers instead of Canadians.
