HRANS is pleased to partner with BC HRMA on this learning opportunity.
The past year has seen some significant changes to Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), with increased investigation and compliance requirements. The options for transitioning temporary foreign workers to permanent status have also become more restricted. This session will be a review on the current options for hiring foreign workers on a temporary and/or permanent basis. It will also look at the expanded compliance regime and record keeping requirements. Learning Objectives - Review key changes implemented over the past year.
- Review of the NEW regulations (effective January 1, 2014) that extend investigation powers and record keeping requirements.
- 4-Year Cap for Temporary Foreign Workers and exceptions.
- Permanent Residency options (transitioning foreign workers to permanent status).
