Key Points:
Additional Information: Canadian authorities launched the pilot program in 2019 to create a pathway to permanent residency for out-of-status construction workers to address labor shortages.
BAL Analysis: The expansion of the pilot program for construction workers in the Greater Toronto Area is a step forward in increasing the protection of some workers in the construction industry, while safeguarding Canada’s labor market.
