The Government of Canada announced the approval of a proposal by the Government of Quebec to temporarily refuse to process new Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) applications for the TFW Program low-wage stream in the Montréal economic region. As a result, processing of these applications will be suspended for six months, starting on September 3rd, 2024, for job offers located in the Montréal economic region with wages below $27.47/hour, which is the current Quebec median hourly wage.
