Low-Wage LMIA Processing Suspension Announced for TFWP in some cities: Starting September 26, Canada will no longer process low-wage LMIA applications under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) in selected cities. This policy targets census metropolitan areas (CMAs) with an unemployment rate of 6% or higher, aiming to prioritize Canadian workers in the job market. Also, the suspension of these Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs) reflects the government’s growing concern about unemployment and the over-reliance on temporary foreign workers.
