Alberta to limit influx of foreign temporary workers to save jobs for Albertans
The Alberta government will limit the number and types of jobs available to new temporary foreign workers — a move it says will free up jobs for Albertans who are looking for work.
Minister of Labour and Immigration Jason Copping says the plan will make more than 1,350 jobs available to unemployed Albertans.
"We've reached an agreement with the federal government to refuse more than 800 labour market impact assessment applications," he announced Monday via teleconference.
