A new alternative work permit process evaluates by IRCC for TWFP applicants, according to current information provided by IRCC.
Furthermore, foreign workers who already have a work permit for Canada and request a new one will be issued a new work permit. They are able to work for the same company and pursue the same profession. The regulation became operative in December 2022.
It is unclear whether the scheme will go forward because IRCC has not verified this information.
The IRCC’s reduction of inventories
The IRCC is creating an action plan with the goal of reducing inventory and enhancing customer support. As well as swiftly eradicating employment shortages in Canada. ESDC – (Employment and Social Development Canada) has the mandate to lessen administrative costs in addition to streamlining TFWP work permit renewal procedures.
New procedures require using the GMCS to pull applications each day and store them in certain folders. The process won’t be automated, according to IRCC.
Additionally, an officer normally decides whether to provide a work permit after carefully considering each applicant. Applications must include details regarding the applicants’ education, language proficiency, and any necessary licenses.
Moreover, the officer will validate the validity of a genuine job offer. An employer’s financial stability, economic activity, and compliance with state and federal employment laws all contribute to their quality.
As long as a candidate is applying in Canada or abroad and is going back to the same employer and profession, it makes no difference where they are.
Who is qualified for IRCC’s alternative TWFP permit process?
71,955 foreign workers with multiple work permits under the same employer are expected to apply for multiple work permits under the same employer during the period January 2017 – August 31, 2022, according to data from ATIP.

About Temporary Foreign Workers Program
The Temporary Foreign Workers Program (TFWP) is often used to fill open jobs in Canadian firms where there are not enough or the right candidates. Closed work permits are issued to workers who qualify for the TFWP. This limits the number of companies individuals can work for in Canada.
Moreover, the majority of TFWP employees must complete a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). According to ESDC, the employer has provided an explanation of why foreign workers will be hired. A company that employs foreign labor must prove how it boosts the Canadian economy. As well as whether it does not boost the economy at all.
If an employer hires foreign employees before seeking competent Canadians or permanent residents. Also, the company must prove it made an effort to fill the vacant position first with Canadians or permanent residents.
Additionally, after an individual starts working in Canada, companies may verify that they are adhering to all applicable laws.
