Immigration department eases foreign worker process

In the face of increasing shortages of certain skilled workers in regions, Canada's immigration department has announced a simplification of the process for certain foreign worker cases cases.

“Canada's new government has been listening to employers in Alberta and British Columbia, and they are truly having a hard time finding enough workers,” the Minister of Immigration said in a statement recently. “The improvements we are announcing today are making it easier, faster, and less costly for employers to hire temporary foreign workers.”
