Abstract
Much of the existing research on temporary foreign workers (TFWs) in Canada focuses on agricultural labour, live-in caregivers, and nurses, but little attention has been given to the trends in the growing accommodations and food services, construction, or manufacturing industries in the prairies. Indeed, the growth of TFWs in key sectors of Saskatchewan’s economy warrants further research, according to Andrew Stevens, Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Business Administration. This is the focus of his pilot study that has received $4,988.80 through the SSHRC General Research Grant Fund. The research aims to provide a greater understanding of the implications surrounding the Temporary Foreign Workers Program for employers, policy makers, unions, workers, and foreign workers themselves in the province. Economic and labour market trends suggest that more information about this delicate subject is needed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
