Compliance & Inspections
The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) includes an emphasis on compliance and enforcement. Inspections of 25% of workplaces that employ foreign nationals are subject to compliance reviews and inspections. The compliance reviews and inspections include not only employers of foreign nationals under the TFWP, but also the International Mobility Program (IMP) which includes intra-company transfers and certain free-trade agreement work permit categories (e.g., USMCA).
