Alberta government limiting temporary foreign worker applications
Alberta imposes temporary restrictions on foreign workers to save jobs for the province’s residents. Minister of Labour and Immigration Jason Copping said Monday that the provincial conservative government is imposing restrictions on foreign workers. As a part of the new policy, Alberta cancelled more than 800 LMIA applications. These changes should free up about 1,350 jobs. The Minister of Labor believes there are a large number of Alberta residents who are willing to take these jobs. The changes will not affect those already in Alberta as well as foreign workers in the agricultural, medical and technological areas. It is not yet known which occupation will become inaccessible to foreigners, there is information that the list will consist of 475 NOCs.
