@kvslaw: 🚨 CANADA ANNOUNCES MAJOR LMIA RULE CHANGES — NOVEMBER 6, 2026! 🇨🇦 📢 The Government of Canada has announced important changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), particularly the Low-Wage Stream. ✅ 1. LMIA EMPLOYMENT DURATION EXTENDED TO 2 YEARS * Previously, the maximum approved employment duration was generally 1 year. * Eligible applications submitted from November 6, 2026, may now support employment for up to 2 years. * Longer work permits may be possible, subject to IRCC approval. ✅ 2. NEW EXCEPTION FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATORS * Low-wage LMIA applications are generally restricted in metropolitan areas with unemployment rates of 6% or higher. * Early childhood educators are now included in the exceptions, alongside certain priority sectors such as healthcare, construction and food processing. 📢 3. MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR RURAL EMPLOYERS — PROPOSED FOR 2027 The government has proposed additional changes: ✅ Eligible employers in designated communities could hire temporary foreign workers for up to 15% of their workforce, instead of 10%. ✅ Priority sectors would continue under the existing 20% limit. ✅ Rural communities could maintain access to all occupations under the Low-Wage Stream. 📅 Proposed implementation: March 1, 2027, subject to provincial and territorial participation. ⚠️ IMPORTANT The 2-year change concerns employment duration, not LMIA validity. Existing work permits are not automatically extended. The proposed March 2027 measures are not yet in effect. 📞 KVS Law Professional Corporation 📲 Call or WhatsApp: +1 (647) 466-8386 📍 120 Traders Blvd E, Unit 112, Mississauga, Ontario For information purposes only.
