New Delhi: In Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government is constantly giving shocks to foreign students. Every month, the government is changing the visa rules or the rules for giving jobs to foreign workers. The situation in Canada, which was once considered the best place to live and settle, is now constantly changing. In this episode, the Trudeau government has made changes in the ‘Temporary Foreign Worker Program’ in Canada, so that the misuse of this scheme can be stopped. Also, people can be saved from fraud through this scheme.
Canadian companies or employers recruit foreign workers through the ‘Temporary Foreign Worker’ (TFW) program in Canada. They have the option to do so only when they do not find good or qualified people for work in Canada. However, the Canadian government says that the ‘Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program has been misused to avoid hiring talented workers in the country and instead rely on foreign workers.
The government has said that now before recruiting foreign workers using the ‘Temporary Foreign Worker’ program, companies will have to do a ‘Labor Market Impact Assessment’ (LMIA), in which they will have to prove that there is no qualified citizen in the country to do the job for which they are hiring a foreign worker. The government wants Canadian companies and employers to reduce their dependence on this program. New rules regarding the TFW program are coming into effect from today, September 26.
The Canadian government is going to refuse to process LMIA in metropolitan areas with an unemployment rate of 6% or more. LMIA will be processed for seasonal and non-seasonal jobs in food security sectors (agriculture, food processing and fish processing), as well as construction and healthcare. Employers will not be allowed to hire more than 10% of their total workforce as foreign workers through the TFW program. The employment period of people hired under the TFW program has been reduced to just one year, which used to be two years earlier.
The effect of this change in Canada is going to be seen on Indians as well. The reason for this is that people from many parts of the country including Punjab-Haryana go to Canada to work. Most of these people do low-skilled jobs, like working on farms. Many companies used to employ these people under the TFW program. But now it is going to be difficult to employ them due to the change in rules.
