Sector-Specific Permits:

The 2-year permits made available to industries such as agriculture and fish processing will permit the workers to switch employers in the same industry making them flexible, but only when another job is available.

Employers Wage Deduction:

Now, the employers will have a chance to deduct such things as housing, utilities, and transport expenses out of the wages. This will act as cost-sharing but at the same time it may take away a considerable amount of take-home salaries.

Regulation Changes in Housing:

Indoor temperature control regulations on the housing of workers are likely to be abandoned-a subject of health and comfort considerations, particularly in summer and winter extremes.

More relaxed Transport regulations:

It will also allow employers greater flexibility in organizing the transport to work. But unreliable or unsafe transportation may prove to be a greater problem in rural locations.

Healthcare Responsibilities:

The phraseology of employer-paid healthcare is a grey area and may restrict the ability to access healthcare-particularly in underprivileged or rural communities.

Accelerated LMIA Process:

As a measure to reduce red tape, government is trying to make the LMIA process easier and quicker so that the employers can hire foreign workers.
