Canada announces further restrictions on temporary foreign worker hiring
On 26 August 2024, in an announcement from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Minister responsible for the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), the Honourable Randy Boissonnault, the Canadian government declared that it will impose further restrictions on the segment of the TFWP that is used for hiring of so-called "low-wage" workers. The intended goal of this program change is to reduce Canadian employers' reliance on foreign national temporary workers, as well as to reduce fraud and misuse of the low-wage TFWP. Nevertheless, there will be some exemptions from these new restrictions, namely jobs in the food security sectors (primary agriculture, food and fish processing), as well as in the construction and healthcare sectors.
