Limit on Temporary Foreign Workers in Montreal Set by Quebec with 6-Month Freeze

Quebec is implementing a six-month freeze on the intake of new temporary foreign workers for low-wage jobs in Montreal, starting in February. Premier François Legault announced the temporary suspension, which will also apply to application renewals by current workers in the city. Additionally, the government will be introducing a bill to restrict the number of international students entering the province this fall. This move comes as the Quebec government seeks a significant reduction in the number of temporary immigrants in the province. The measures have sparked responses from various stakeholders, and Global’s Franca Mignacca will provide more information on the implications of these changes.
