Canadian officials announced upcoming changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker program as part of an effort to reduce the number of temporary residents in Canada.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Construction and healthcare sectors will still be allowed to have up to 30% of their workforce on low-wage work permits, and the cap exemption for the agriculture sector and seasonal employers will remain in place.
BAL Analysis: The Canadian government continues to implement updates to policies to encourage immigration in key sectors, while at the same time creating stricter policies to balance the needs of Canadian workers. Employers should be aware of these policy updates and consider them in their employment strategies and recruitment efforts.
