Temporary Foreign Worker Program

Monitoring Initiative

Effective April 27, 2009, employers will be asked to participate in the Monitoring Initiative. Two new consent clauses under the “Declaration of Employer” section have been added to the Labour Market Opinion application form. Employers must select one of the boxes.

The Initiative is designed to strengthen the integrity of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Your participation will help you gain a better understanding of your responsibilities as an employer of temporary foreign workers. It will also provide you with an opportunity to demonstrate your good-standing with the program, which may be considered in the assessment of future Labour Market Opinion application(s). For further information, contact your Service Canada Centre.
