Canada strengthens protections for temporary foreign workers

Canada strengthens protections for temporary foreign workers

The 13 new regulatory amendments include measures to strengthen protections for TFWs and will enhance the integrity of the TFW Program and the International Mobility Program (IMP), administered by IRCC.

The new regulations will better protect TFWs and help to prevent mistreatment and abuse during their stay in Canada by:

*mandating that employers provide all TFWs with information about their rights in Canada;

*prohibiting reprisal by employers against workers, for instance against those who come forward with complaints; and,

*prohibiting employers from charging recruitment fees to workers and holding them accountable for the actions of recruiters in this regard.
