Music Promoters: JCL Productions

JCL Productions: Federal rules that came into effect on July 31 require an employer to pay a $275 for each foreign worker they want to hire, according to CBC. Edmonton music agent Steve Derpack from JCL Productions says the fees will be a financial burden for smaller clubs and Music promoters worry that processing fees for temporary foreign workers may make it too expensive for up and coming international acts to tour Canada. The fee covers the costs of obtaining a labour market opinion and must be paid for foreign musicians and their touring staff for each venue they play. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
