Great news for foreign workers who want to receive additional training

It has been announced that these measures will be extended until November 30, 2025. The suspension concerns EIMT applications for vacancies in Montreal and Laval, where the official hourly wage is below the new threshold, which is $ 32.96

This measure is aimed at:

  • Applications submitted under the simplified procedure.
  • Applications submitted to extend the work permits of already employed temporary workers.

It is also worth noting that exceptions are planned for some strategically important sectors, such as the agricultural sector, construction, health care, education and social services.
