Industry heard from Minister Hajdu of Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), AAFC Minister MacAulay, Serge Cormier, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, and Rodger Cuzner, ESDC Parliamentary Secretary, in addition to many government officials from the three departments.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion touched on labour shortages, delays in processing applications (including LMIAs), and challenges in maintaining public trust. Feelings of optimism emerged that government was listening to industry concerns regarding the administration of the TFWP Ag Stream and SAWP. These discussions will hopefully lead to more transparent communication between government and employers.<\/p>\n<p>ESDC officially announced that it is launching a review of LMIA service standards, and that it has streamlined the process for replacing and transferring workers,\u00a0<em>by waiving the two-week advertising requirement<\/em>. This change is effective immediately and is a positive\u00a0<em>first<\/em>\u00a0step in the streamlining of this program. Note: Currently, employers will still need to fill out an LMIA.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday, May 4<\/strong>: CHC participated in the TFWP Primary Agriculture Review Consultation in Ottawa.
