Ontario will not allow rural employers to hire more temporary foreign workers to fill low-wage jobs, says the province’s immigration minister.
Citing the high youth unemployment rate, David Piccini said in a letter to Ottawa that the province is not interested in raising the cap on the ratio of low-wage, temporary foreign workers permitted from 10 per cent to 15 per cent of a rural employer’s workforce.
In March, the federal government announced to relax the rules because some rural communities continued to face acute labour shortages due to low unemployment rates, and ongoing challenges in attracting, recruiting and retaining workers.
