Foreign workers in 10 occupations can now expect a faster hiring process. Canada has expedited the process for employers so that foreign workers in food processing, agriculture, and trucking occupations can be hired faster.

 

Employers in Canada that are hiring foreign workers in 10 food processing, agriculture, and trucking occupations can now skip past a time-taking stage in the work permit process.  The requirement for advertisement for the Labour Market Impact Assessment [LMIA] in certain high priority occupations has been waived by the government of Canada.  Generally, for an LMIA, an employer has to prove that no Canadian was indeed available to take up the vacant position that is consequently being offered to a foreign worker.  Proving that no Canadian was available is done through advertising the position across different platforms. In some cases, the advertising can be done for up to three months.  As of March 20, the minimum recruitment requirements have been waived for 10 occupations. The requirements have been waived both for pending as well as future LMIA applications.  These occupations are – 

 

NOC Code Occupation
6331 Butchers, meat cutters and fishmongers [Retail and wholesale]
7511 Transport truck drivers
8252 Agricultural service contractors, farm supervisors and specialized livestock workers
8431 General farm workers 
8432 Nursery and greenhouse workers
8611 Harvesting labourers
9463 Fish and seafood plant workers
9617 Labourers in food and beverage processing
9618 Labourers in fish and seafood processing
9462 Industrial butchers and meat cutters, poultry preparers and related workers

 

Truck drivers that are situated in a province with a Mandatory Entry-Level Training requirement in place must have the requirement with them when they get their work permit.  Provinces in Canada that have the Mandatory Entry-Level Training requirement include – Quebec, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, British Columbia, and Ontario.  If you are looking to Work, Study, Invest, Visit, or Migrate Overseas, talk to Y-Axis, the World’s No. 1 Immigration & Visa Company.
