Alberta curtailment of foreign workers
Alberta is using its authority under the Canada-Alberta Labour Market Pilot of the Agreement for Canada-Alberta Cooperation on Immigration. The changes impact 475 occupations in sectors such as accommodation and food services, retail trade, transportation, construction, and professional, scientific and technical services.
While some emergency workers and occupations have received exemptions, the federal government has now also placed conditions on TFW, citing COVID-19 as the cause.
