加拿大允许农村雇主暂时将外籍工人的配额从10%提高到15%,以缓解劳动力短缺问题。 Canada allows rural employers to temporarily raise foreign worker quotas from 10% to 15% to ease labor shortages.

从2026年4月1日起,至2027年3月31日止,联邦政府采取了临时措施,允许参与的各省和地区的农村雇主将低工资临时外国工人的比例从占其劳动力的10%增加到15%。 The federal government has introduced temporary measures allowing rural employers in participating provinces and territories to increase the share of low-wage temporary foreign workers from 10% to 15% of their workforce, effective April 1, 2026, and lasting until March 31, 2027. 改革的目的是解决农业、食品加工、建筑和保健方面持续存在的劳动力短缺问题,在这些方面很难雇用加拿大人。 The change aims to address persistent labour shortages in agriculture, food processing, construction, and health care, where hiring Canadians has been difficult. 雇主仍然必须优先考虑加拿大工人,并满足基本的雇用和工资要求。 Employers must still prioritize Canadian workers and meet basic hiring and wage requirements. 该政策并不改变总体方案上限,各省必须请求参与。 The policy does not alter overall program caps, and provinces must request participation. 此外,魁北克省还得到了一个单独的延期,允许有永久居留申请的熟练工人在申请得到处理期间保留工作许可证长达12个月。 Additionally, Quebec has received a separate extension allowing skilled workers with permanent residence applications to retain work permits for up to 12 months while their applications are processed.
