Canadian workers exempt from Trump’s migration clampdown
Canadians will not suffer from US President Donald Trump’s work visas ban. The announcement that the US is banning the issuance of work visas until the end of 2020 had triggered confusion as to whether Canadian workers would come under its purview. The American Immigration Lawyers Association informed members that it had received assurances from US Customs and Border Protection that Canadians are exempted from this ban. The executive order announced by Trump suspends, at least for the rest of this year, the entry of workers under popular visa categories H, J and L. As per Trump’s executive orders, the visa ban only applies to people currently outside the US who lack a valid visa or travel document. It so happens that most Canadians already have a valid travel document to the US in the form of their passport.
