Canada to End Low-Wage LMIA Processing for Temporary Foreign Workers

On August 26, 2024, the Government of Canada announced significant changes coming to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), in particular, the government’s intention to cease processing Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs) for the Low Wage stream of the program in some census metropolitan areas (CMAs).?

This is a bid to help reduce fraud and misuse of the TFWP as well as prioritizing Canadian workers. These changes will be effective September 26, 2024, and are part of the government's broader initiative to align with evolving labour market conditions.

These changes come amid plans announced by the government to reduce temporary residents population to 5% over the next three years, down from the current 6.2% of Canada’s population.?
