Immigration Compliance Reviews and Inspections to Increase in 2014

Employers should be prepared for increased scrutiny in 2014, as part of the Canadian government’s overall review of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.

The government is expected to publish new regulations before the end of the year that will greatly expand the powers of the compliance wing of Employment and Social Development Canada over employer compliance reviews and inspections. Once the new regulations take effect, employer compliance reviews and worksite inspections are anticipated to rise in frequency as 2014 progresses.

Fragomen will distribute additional client alerts once the new regulations are finalized and are prepared to take effect.
