Working in Canada: Legalization of construction workers' status

On July 5, the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced that it would grant legal status to about 500 temporary workers in the field of construction who are currently in the GTA without legal status. IRCC is trying to regularize workers without legal status who were hired by Canadian companies who were unable to find Canadian citizens or permanent residents for the jobs. The candidates will have to be approved by the Canadian Labour Congress and will be able to include their family members in the application. #IRCC, #TRV, #Work_permit
