The Canadian government is constantly bringing different rules to reduce unemployment in its country. Due to which people from other countries who see their future in Canada have been shocked. 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.
Actually, Canadian companies 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.
TFW is being misused
But the government is now changing it. 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 country should give priority to youth in jobs
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 eligible citizen in the country to do the job for which they are hiring a foreign worker.
Rules are coming into effect from today
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.
No permission to keep more than 10 percent foreigners
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. The manager or owner will not be allowed to employ more than 10% of their total workforce as foreign workers through the TFW program. The duration of employment of people employed under the TFW program has been reduced to just one year, which was earlier two years.
Punjabis will be affected the most
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 work in Canada. Most of these people do low-skilled jobs, like working on farms. Many companies used to employ these people under the TFW program. But due to the change in rules, it is going to be difficult to employ them now.
