Canada may be considering a new method of processing work permits for applicants under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP).

The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), in its proposal, said it planned to reduce inventories, improve client service and expedite the reduction of labour shortages in Canada.

The measure, which was proposed in December last year, would apply to foreign workers who already have a Canadian work permit and are applying for another permit to continue working in the same occupation for the same employer, according to a CICNews report.
The new method will apply to those applicants who are returning to the same employer and occupation, whether they are applying from in Canada or abroad.

According to the report, the new process would involve daily application pulls by the Global Case Management System (GMCS) into specific folders.

To be eligible, workers

• Need to be issued an employer-specific work permit once in the past five years with no discrepancies from the previous application
• Must submit a complete work permit application for a new employer-specific work permit
• Must return to the same occupation, with the same National Occupation Classification (NOC) code
• Need to provide biometrics, either prior to or with their new application
• Must meet all other admissibility requirements throughout the screening process

Canada’s temporary foreign worker program helps Canadian employers hire employees when they are not able to find qualified, or enough qualified employees for vacant positions.
Employees who arrive under the TFWP have closed work permits, meaning they can only work for one employer in Canada.
How applications are currently processed

• An officer individually evaluates each work permit applicant to determine if they are approved.
• This includes a review of the applicant’s experience, education, language ability and any licensing requirements.
• The officer also assesses if the offer of employment is genuine, by checking if the employer is actively engaged in their business, if they can pay employee wages and that they are compliant with federal and provincial employment laws.
