As of April 26, 2014, the Minister of Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) has issued specific ministerial instructions to stop the processing of all food service sector LMO applications. This halt comes after a careful analysis of confidential tips received by many Canadians through the Service Canada Tip Line.
At this time, and until further notice, no food service sector LMO applications will be accepted. Those applications currently in process, will be abandoned and any processing fees paid will be returned to the employers. Any unused positions on LMOs that have been issued to employers under the food service sector are suspended immediately.
ESDC will continue to evaluate the program and maintain the integrity to ensure that Canadians have the first access to available jobs, before bringing foreign workers to Canada.
