Ottawa to Blacklist Recruiters Exploiting Provincial Labour Laws

In a development which is not likely to please many, the government of Canada has reportedly proclaimed the blacklisting of firms/job-providers found guilty of disobeying provincial labor laws. According to the available particulars, the current Canadian administration is already enraged with recruiters not following provincial labor regulations.

The development comes in the wake of the alleged abuse of the nation’s foreign worker scheme by Canada recruiters. Under the new laws, recruiters found guilty under any provincial, or for that matter any federal law regulating staffing of workers or employment, are likely to be declared guilty by the Maple Leaf Country. Some recruiters, meanwhile, claim that the latest regulations brought in by the administration relating to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) are pretty indistinguishable. They assert that the latest norms are anything but clear to them.

The incumbent Canadian employment minister & immigration minister had made public numerous improvements to the TFWP 5 months back. Allegedly, any company which gets blacklisted would be shattered. It is asserted that even honest errors by recruiters or a firm may invite blacklisting. Hence, some sincere recruiters or companies, employing the TFWP, may discover their name in the blacklist, even as that’s fairly a subject of anxiety.

The latest blacklist has been launched and it comprises four recruiters, out of which three are from the restaurant field. The latest amendments proclaimed by the Maple Leaf Country during the month of June 2014 include ban on firms/recruiters in food services, retail and accommodation segments from using the TFWP until and unless the unemployment ratio in the area is less than 6%.
