The federal government is putting more limits on employers’ use of the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program.
“The Temporary Foreign Worker program was designed to address labour market shortages when qualified Canadians were not able to fill those roles,” says Randy Boissonnault, minister of employment, workforce development and official languages.
“Right now, we know that there are more Canadians qualified to fill open positions. The changes we are making today will prioritize Canadians workers and ensure Canadians can trust the program is meeting the needs of our economy.”
