Canada and Regulation Limits

migrant workers: In the past, employees with work permits about to expire could apply for renewal, according to Rabble. That is no longer the case. The regulation limits the length of time temporary workers may work in Canada to four years. Under the new rule, migrant workers in low-wage jobs and Live-in Caregivers must leave the country as early as April 1, 2015, and are then barred from returning to work in Canada for another four years. The TFWP was established in 1973 as an employer-driven program aimed at addressing regional and occupational labour demands not met by the Canadian workforce. Although Canada has traditionally been a country of permanent immigration, levels of temporary migration have skyrocketed in recent years. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
