Changes to TFW Program start in April
March 18, 2011
|
|
|
Changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program announced earlier this year take effect April 1. The federal government will conduct audits to ensure wages, actual jobs, salaries and working conditions of TFWs match the job offers approved by officials. Under the new regulations, employers who breach their employment contract with a TFW will be barred from accessing the program for two years. A list of these ineligible employers will be posted on Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s (CIC) website.

Working periods capped
The government will also cap how long foreign workers can temporarily work in Canada. Once a TFW has accumulated four years in Canada, they cannot work in the country again for at least four years. Under these regulations, a TFW’s years start accumulating after April 1, 2011 – workers already in Canada will not be affected by the changes until 2015.
