The federal government is taking a stricter approach to the rules around employers’ use of the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program to “weed out misuse and fraud within the system”.
“I’ve been clear over the last year; abuse and misuse of the TFW program must end,” says Randy Boissonnault, minister of employment, workforce development and official languages.
“The health and safety of temporary foreign workers in Canada is a responsibility I take very seriously. Bad actors are taking advantage of people and compromising the program for legitimate businesses. We are putting more reforms in place to stop misuse and fraud from entering the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.”
