OTTAWA — The federal government is extending the period of time a business can employ a low-wage temporary foreign worker.
The change will lengthen the maximum duration of a low-wage Labour Market Impact Assessment — the document an employer needs in order to employ a temporary foreign worker — to two years instead of one.
The government said restrictions on hiring temporary foreign workers in cities with unemployment rates above six per cent will remain in place. But Ottawa is adding early childhood educators to the list of professions exempted from those restrictions — a list which also includes certain jobs in health care, construction and food processing.
Replacement migration continues apace.
