Human Resources Minister Diane Finley: Human Resources And Skills Development Canada

Immigration Minister Jason Kenney Dept: Human Resources Minister Diane Finley and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney announced Wednesday that they will no longer provide the paperwork needed to bring in temporary foreign workers for employment in the sex industry, according to CBC. The release says the negative labour market opinions will also apply to other businesses linked to the sex trade, "particularly if there is a heightened risk of abuse or exploitation of workers." Canadians will no longer be able to hire temporary foreign workers as exotic dancers or for other sex-trade work under changes to be made by the federal government. Finley's department, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, will "issue negative Labour Market Opinions" for applications from employers linked to the sex trade, which will deny them permission to hire temporary foreign workers. As of July 14, Kenney's department will stop processing new work permit applications from temporary foreign workers who plan to work for strip clubs, escort services and massage parlours.
