Federal Officials: Human Resources and Skills Development Canada

Human Resources and Skills Development Canada: Under proposed regulatory changes unveiled Friday, federal officials would monitor employer compliance not only at the time of the applications to bring in migrant workers but throughout the employment period, according to The Star. Citizenship and Immigration Canada officers and the Minister responsible for Human Resources and Skills Development Canada would also have the authority to enter and inspect any premises or place in which a temporary foreign worker performs work and Canadian employers who hire foreign workers will face surprise on-site inspections by authorities to ensure that the need for them is genuine and that Canadian workers are not passed over for the job. Officials would have the authority, for the purpose of verifying compliance with the imposed conditions, to require an employer to provide documents and to report at any specified time and place in order to answer questions and provide documents, said the plan.
