Canada: Median Hourly Wage Gets An Update For 2020 Temporary Foreign Worker Program


Canada has adjusted the median wage requirement that helps them determine if employers in Canada are required to apply for LMIAs under the high wage or the low wage streams.
In the latest update for this year, the median hourly wages for the Temporary Worker Program have gone up in most Canadian provinces and territories.
Employers from Canada that are hiring foreign employees are required to use the provincial and territorial median hourly wage so that they could know which requirements they need to meet for the TFWP (Temporary Foreign Worker Program).
The wage that they are currently offering and the location for the position will help determine if the employers are required to apply for an LMIA (Labor Market Impact Assessment) under the stream for high-wage or low-wage market positions.

According to CIC.CA, the new media wage requirements went into effect on May 11, 2020.
