Do you have credible expertise guiding your Foreign Worker Planning?

After April 1, 2011 rules for the Canadian Government’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program will be much tougher. Employers need to aware of two important changes:
ONE: Serious consequences for non-compliant employers
-
Employers who fail to comply with the terms of their LMO or their work permit will be penalized by being denied use of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program for 2 years.
-
Employers found out of compliance will be posted by the Government of Canada on a public Internet blacklist as unable to hire foreign workers for a period of two years. This will inform potential foreign workers that applications from listed employers will be denied.
TWO: Four year maximum on temporary work permits
Most foreign workers will be granted work permits for 4 years in total. Foreigners who have worked in Canada four years after April 1, 2011 cannot get renewed. Work prior to April 1, 2011 is not counted.
