On June 18, 2024, the Government of Canada issued new guidelines affecting caregivers seeking work permits under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP). The revised guidelines provide clarity on who the refusal to process applies to and how to handle applications submitted before or after entry or on entry to Canada. Additionally, instructions related to determining the date of receipt for a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) application have been removed. The changes aim to streamline the process and ensure a fair and efficient system.
