The new measures for TFW to make their employment easier in Quebec

 Quebec to provide open work permit to retain temporary foreign workers

The Canadian government is working on measures to make it easier to employ temporary workers in Quebec.

An agreement has been reached in this regard after negotiations that took months to come by. The agreement between Quebec the federal government of Canada is to implement 3 new measures that will help businesses and employers going through the crisis of labor shortages.

Quebec is the first province to enter into such an agreement with Canada’s federal government. The aim was to find a solution to its ongoing workforce crisis. The shortage of labor existed in Quebec even before the pandemic. But it has just aggravated in recent months along with the rebounding of the economy.

Here are the 3 new measures decided to be implemented in the weeks to come:

  • Improve the flexibility of the TFW Program to facilitate hiring
  • provide access to an open work permit for select CSQ holders waiting for PR in Quebec
  • Issue a work permit to CSQ holders from abroad awaiting Canada PR.

About TFW Program

In Canada, as of now, companies intending to hire foreign workers can hire at a rate of 10% of their workforce. This rate will now be raised to 20%.

The increased limit of TFW per company will be implemented for select sectors of activity. They will include certain high-demand, low-skilled occupations in the list of occupations fit for facilitated processing.

The government of Quebec will work with the CPMT. They will together identify the sectors of activity that will accrue the benefit of this measure.

About Open Work Permit for PR Applicants

Canada’s federal government has approved yet another request. It was Quebec’s request for the implementation of a measure that will let select TFW have the opportunity to work in Quebec. They will do so in an occupation of their choice while waiting to obtain Canada PR.

TFW can get a bridging open work permit. With it, they will be able to keep on working while waiting for a decision on their Canada PR application. However, workers who applied via Quebec didn’t qualify for this permit. Read More
