OK, it's not both ways though. What you need to remember through, is that the majority of those pilots are working off shore because they have no choice. How many business failures have there been (in the Canadian aviation scene) in the last 15 years? I'm quite sure that most of those guys really had no choice, they had to make the decision to go abroad to work just to feed the family. They have a legal licence to work in a foreign country, and are a needed profession. (Read up on that subject, there's tons of info out there.) You can't put the blame on them if your career path is stalled when they come back home...and like I said previously, most of them are coming home to retire and won't be in your way. Those returning pilots have a legal right to return to Canada and if there's a job they qualify for, they can apply just like you. What irks me is that the TFW program is being challenged by a bunch of sleazy operators and non Canadian pilots are flying in Canadian seats...that's your real issue, not returning Canadians.
