New Jobs For Temporary Foreign Skilled Workers In Canada

Canada accelerates the process for temporary workers to start their new jobs
​

A current government proposal requires temporary international employees with a job offer already in Canada to continue working before applying.
The government says the time it takes a foreign worker to resume work should be significantly shortened from 10 weeks to 10 working days.
The temporary adjustment is a part of the solution to Canada's labour market needs during the corona virus pandemic by Immigrants, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), according to the media release.
This spring several temporary international employees with employer- specific permits lose their employment and were unable to leave Canada due to reduced flights or travel restrictions. Around the same time, a growing number of businesses are of labour shortages in industries like manufacturing, agro-food and health care.

In Canada, New policy would allow temporary employees to start working within 10 days and not 10 weeks after applying for a work permit. 

In compliance with the existing regulations, temporary foreign employees with job-specific work visas must apply in order to work lawfully in Canada for a new visa with the name of the new employer. You must wait until the work permit is given before you go to work on your new career.
Temporary workers who have a job offer now will apply to IRCC for work authorization. The application will be checked in 10 days and informed by email if accepted. You will then get to work on your new career.
There are three main requirements of eligibility:

• Workers must have a valid resident status in Canada;
• Workers must be employer-specific work permit or excluded from work permits;
• Employees must apply for new work permits and have a legitimate job application under either the Temporary Foreign Workers Program or the International Mobility Program.

The role of the employer in the employment of foreign employees is not changed. Employers are asked to procure from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) a successful Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). You will identify and remind Service Canada of the role in the LMIA.
Employers must apply a work application through the International Mobility Employer Program Portal for employer-specific LMIA circumstances which are excluded. ​

Steps Towards Changing Employer
Temporary foreign workers must have to register first for a new work visa within Canada. Most individuals tend to register online; even sometimes they cannot register on paper because of impairment or because of a problem with the electronic form.
Following IRCC submission, applicants are asked to complete the web-based form to promote contact between applicants and the Canadian immigration department. More specific information is available on the website of the Department. The method depends on whether the worker is excluded from permits or not.
When completed, IRCC will issue an email stating that a prospective contractor is eligible to continue working with the claimant until the complete application is reviewed.
In about 10 business working days, the email will be submitted. If the request is made on paper, it can take longer.
