The processing time for securing foreign labour and the increasing number of refusals continues to threaten the viability of Canadian agriculture and agri-food operations.
When Canadians do not apply for advertised positions, producers should have access to a fair, efficient and transparent administration process to fill vacancies with international agricultural workers.
The PEIFA will work with its national partners to lobby the federal government for a fair, efficient and transparent process for employers to access international agriculture and agri-food workers with an improvement in the speed and efficiency of the approvals.
