Quebec to limit temporary foreign workers in Montreal with 6-month freeze
Quebec is introducing a six-month freeze on the intake of new temporary foreign workers for low-wage jobs in Montreal starting in February, the province’s premier said on Tuesday. The announcement came as the Quebec government has been calling for a “significant and rapid” reduction in the number of temporary immigrants in the province. According to Quebec Premier François Legault, the temporary suspension will apply to application renewals by current workers in the city, and the government will also introduce a bill to restrict the number of international students this fall. Global's Franca Mignacca has more on the measures and the response to them.
