The Quebec government announced a six-month freeze on most applications for temporary selection (CAQ) for low-wage jobs located on the Island of Montreal.
Exemptions:
1. Jobs that pay more than the median salary in Quebec.
2. Certain in-demand jobs in health care, education, construction and food processing.
The measure comes into effect September 3rd, so LMIAs and DSTs must be submitted immediately. Contact us to help get this done quickly!
If you currently work in a low-wage position in Montreal and your work permit is expiring in the next 6 months, please contact us to talk about your options.
