The Canadian government has introduced new regulations for the Temporary Foreign Worker Program to decrease reliance on low-wage foreign workers. Key measures include a 10% cap on low-wage hires and more stringent Labour Market Impact Assessments. These changes aim to prioritize hiring Canadians, particularly youth, immigrants, and individuals with disabilities.
