New Canada LMIA Rules Now in Effect: What You Need to Know

, , , 0

As of September 26, 2024, three significant changes to Canada’s Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) rules have taken effect, impacting the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program. These changes aim to prioritize Canadian workers and curb over-reliance on foreign labor in metropolitan areas with unemployment rates of 6% or higher.

Key Changes to the TFW Program

– Suspension of LMIAs in High Unemployment Areas: No new LMIAs will be processed for low-wage positions in areas with high unemployment, except for critical sectors like agriculture, healthcare, and construction.

– 10% Cap on Foreign Workers: Employers can now hire only 10% of their workforce through the TFW Program, down from 20%.

– Reduced Employment Duration: Low-wage stream employment is now limited to one year, reduced from two years.

Previous Changes to Curb LMIA Fraud

In response to growing concerns about misuse and fraud, the Canadian government introduced measures on August 6, 2024, including:

– Regulatory Changes: Stricter employer eligibility criteria and penalties for misuse.

– 20% Cap Enforcement: Limiting low-wage temporary foreign workers to 20% of an employer’s workforce.

– Enhanced Oversight: Increased monitoring and inspections in high-risk regions and industries.

– Fee Increase: Proposed LMIA fee hike to discourage frivolous applications.

Future Adjustments and Monitoring

The Canadian government will closely monitor these changes and make further adjustments as needed. A comprehensive review of the TFW Program will take place within the next 60 days, potentially leading to additional changes.
