International Workers In These 10 Fields Can Now Be Hired In A Much Faster Way

Employers hiring foreign workers in the agriculture, food processing, and trucking occupations are now allowed to skip past a time-consuming step in the process of obtaining a work permit

Canada has announced that they are waiving the advertising requirement for the Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) in certain high priority occupations.

In order to get a Labor Market Impact Assessment, employers needed to prove that no Canadian citizen or permanent resident was available to take a vacant position before offering it to a worker from a different country. They did this by advertising the position to hire across a number of platforms for up to 3 months.

However, as of March 20, 2020, the minimum requirements for pending and future Labor Market Impact Assessment applications will be waived for the following 10 occupations:

·         Butchers, meat cutters and fishmongers-retail and wholesale (NOC 6331)

·         Transport Truck Drivers (NOC 7511)

·         Agricultural service contractors, farm supervisors and specialized livestock workers (NOC 8252)

·         General Farm Workers (NOC 8431)

·         Nursery and Greenhouse Workers (NOC 8432)

·         Harvesting labourers (NOC 8611)

·         Fish and seafood plant workers (NOC 9463)

·         Labourers in food, beverage and associated products processing (NOC 9617)

·         Labourers in fish and seafood processing (NOC 9618)

·         Industrial butchers and meat cutters, poultry preparers and related workers (NOC 9462)

Truck drivers that are in a province that has a Mandatory Entry-Level Training requirement are required to have the certification in their possession at the time they get hold of their work permit.

Provinces that require these are:

1.       British Columbia

2.       Alberta

3.       Saskatchewan

4.       Manitoba

5.       Ontario

6.       Quebec
