Brilliant move by Jason Kenney.
If you are a MBA, Techie or a Finance graduate and lose your job and are on EI, be prepared to work in a chocolate factory, farm picking berries or even Work in the fish processing plant.

Finally an MBA will become multi talented after working in low paying jobs. So highly qualified professionals will think twice before coming to this country.
Will MBA/Techie be denied to get such kind of job because of his over qualification?
Some inputs should come from Desi Babu 70 who vanished after promoting Conservative for 2 elections. Must be busy with Kenney.

You must realise that EI money is peanuts.Though the proposal is there, there is no way that you can quantify that you were offered a job and that you did not take it.
From what I read, it is only a standard clause that there is there that you must take up any job offer that comes.No one comes and checks and Canada HRDC does not have the man power to monitor it.
Like self attestation in India, it is self declaration.
So it will be a failure but will be for name sake only.
There was a talk that if you take welfare, then after some months you will be forced by your case agent to take up any job that comes (unless you are disability , then you need not look for a job). Since I had never been on welfare, I am not sure how people can cheat while being on welfare.
So Canadian, donot be afraid of this new rule.
Peace

I also had the same thoughts, may be recuperating until next action errrr election
It sounds like you are describing workfare which was introduced in Ontario with the Harris government as part of "the common sense revolution".
This policy's aim is to encourage Canadian people to take jobs in their region that are currently filled by temporary foreign workers. Temporary foreign workers predominately work in seasonal agriculture. They perform jobs that Canadian citizens and permanent residents don't want to do making small wages that don't provide an incentive to anyone collecting EI. Either the conditions and pay need to improve (increasing prices or decreasing profits), Canadian people need a better work ethic, or both. Or, the government can try to force people to take the jobs which is what they are doing.
I doubt this policy is targeted at newcomers. Many newcomers already take jobs below their level of experience and education willingly. Also, modern newcomers disproportionately live in urban centres not in the rural areas where we have meat rendering plants and fruit farms. There is a lot of Canada beyond the cities where MBA's work on Excel sheets in office towers (and/or in Tim Hortons).
I guess if you live in semi-rural Nova Scotia and you can't find a job with your MBA or IT degree you've done a really bad job of positioning yourself and your skills might be better suited to farming Christmas trees. We don't have a country where every person can have a white collar job and we don't have many well paying blue collar jobs anymore.

Deviating slightly from the discussion of this program, it seems to be a common belief that a certain educational credential entitles one to a suitable job. The problem is Canadian universities are creating more supply than there is demand in almost every profession. This is how they make their profit, and if you can't find a job in your field you can come back and take another program. Then we have a skilled immigration program that often entices people with excellent credentials and experience in fields where we don't have a lot of jobs. The government has a happy dream of a place where we're all PhDs but a reality of resource extraction and tertiary industry.
A degree is more valuable some place where it is more rare and where there is economic growth. Limiting the number of degrees available here might make a degree more of a job guarantee but then you end up with a system like they have in France where very few people are guaranteed cushy jobs because of their elite education and anyone who doesn't get into the super competitive programs is SOL.

The link that you have provided seems more towards areas where agriculture workers from abrod comes while locals sit on doles. I don't this is targeted to educated emplyed people........ Thourgh my Ei contribution stop in te mid of the year. The EI is anyway a stop gap while one get another job.
