Employers in Montreal who turn to the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program to fill low-wage jobs will temporarily lose the resource starting next month.
That’s because the federal government will freeze the approval of new temporary foreign workers in jobs paying below Quebec’s median hourly wage starting next month, reported CBC.
The processing of Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) applications will be suspended for six months, starting on Sept. 3, for job offers with wages below $27.47 per hour, according to the report.
