Updates on Labour Market Impact Assessment Requirements Come Into Effect This Month.
Canadian employers using the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) have been urged to note changes with respect to job offers in streams for High-wage and Low-wage positions, after modifications were made to requirements in both streams this month.
The TFWP allows Canadian employers to hire foreign nationals to fill labour shortages in Canada, while ensuring that Canadian citizens and permanent residents have the first opportunity to apply for open job positions. The TFWP is jointly administered by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC, formerly known as CIC).
