Effective today, temporary workers with employer-specific work permits who have lost their jobs due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic don\u2019t need to wait for a new work permit to be issued before starting to work for a new employer but must get a confirmation to start working from the IRCC. Nevertheless, the new employer still must obtain a positive LMIA. The processing time of the new work permit for such workers is significantly reduced to ten days. IRCC issued about 190,000 employer-specific work permits in 2019. Besides that, IRCC may waive the biometrics requirement if the Service Canada office in the given location is closed.<\/p>\n<p>#foreign_workers, #IRCC, #work_permit, #work_in_Canada, #LMIA, #COVID_19<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 12, 2020, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) released an update of the regulation for the temporary workers who change employment.
