Lost On A Dead End Street: Newcomer Youth At Work

The students in the Linc4Youth Video Project made a documentary about the types of "dead end"jobs that immigrant youth get when they come to Canada. They explore the reasons why they get these jobs, the types of working conditions, and the long hours they are asked, and sometimes forced to work.

I'm also watched this video from reading The Spec. I appreciate that newcomer's have a hard time coping with school, work and the English language, however I feel all "students" face the same challenges and it's up to them to make the difference in their lives, and not up the Canadian Government. I believe the Government is doing as much as it can, without raising our already high taxes, for immigrants.
