📢 New Anti-Fraud Measures for Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program
Minister Boissonnault outlined the following actions that are being implemented to reduce the use of temporary foreign workers in Canada:
Enforcing the 20% cap policy for temporary foreign workers, including the “dual intent sub-stream” for those seeking permanent residency. Employers in this stream will face stricter guidelines.
Implementing stricter oversight in high-risk areas for processing Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs) and conducting inspections.
Considering LMIA fee increases to fund additional integrity and processing activities.
Planning future regulatory changes regarding employer eligibility, such as requiring a minimum number of years in business or examining the employer's layoff history.
