Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) is evolving from a seasonal solution into a structural economic pillar, drawing uncomfortable parallels with Gulf States' labour models.

While Canada offers better protections and higher wages than countries like Qatar, experts warn the program is creating a "permanent underclass" of essential workers excluded from society.

The growing dependence on foreign labour—currently numbering 140,000 workers across sectors from agriculture to warehousing—reflects a concerning cultural shift where certain jobs are increasingly devalued and workers treated as disposable despite their critical economic contributions.
