Canada raises wage requirements for high-wage stream of Temporary Foreign Worker Program
Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), including raising the minimum hourly wage requirements for the high-wage stream of the TFWP.
Effective November 8, candidates applying through the high-wage stream of the TFWP will need to earn hourly salaries at least 20% higher than the median wage for their position relative to where they work, to be eligible, as per CIC News report.
Authorities estimate that this change will impact up to 34,000 workers across Canada, resulting in an hourly wage increase between $5-$8 CAD for those who remain in the high-wage stream (depending on the area of work).
“...By raising the threshold for high-wage stream positions, we are supporting wage growth for Canadians,” said Minister of Employment, Workforce, Development and Official Languages, Randy Boissonnault.

In addition to the above change, the Minister also announced that starting October 28th, 2024, employers in the TFWP will no longer be able to use attestations from professional licensed accountants and/or lawyers to prove the legitimacy of their business.
