식당업계에 한해 외국인고용하는 LMO 를 전반적으로 중단시킨 다는 발표가 났습니다. 또한 외국인을 고용해 이사람들을 악용하는 업주들을 엄하게 법적으로 다룬다는 뉴스 그리고 이에 데한 조사를 시작한다는 내용입니다.
언제 까지가 될지 몰라도 이 수사가 끝날때까지 식당업계 모든 LMO 는 중단 이라고 정부에서 발표를 했네요.

April 24, 2014 — Ottawa, Ontario — Employment and Social Development Canada
Our Government has been clear:
Canadians must have the first chance at available jobs. We have
repeatedly warned employers that the Temporary Foreign Worker Program must only
be used as a last and limited resort when Canadians are not available.
In recent weeks, Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) has been made
aware of some serious allegations of abuse of the Temporary Foreign Worker
Program. In response, I directed officials to investigate these matters
urgently to determine the facts, Labour Market Opinions were suspended, and
employers in question were placed on a public blacklist.
Despite these actions, there remain serious concerns regarding the use of the
Temporary Foreign Worker Program in the Food Services Sector.
As a result, I am announcing an immediate moratorium on the Food Services
Sector’s access to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Accordingly,
ESDC will not process any new or pending LMO applications related to the Food
Services Sector. In addition, any unfilled positions tied to a previously
approved LMO will be suspended. This moratorium will remain in effect until the
completion of the on-going review of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
Abuse of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program will not be tolerated.
Allegations of misuse will continue to be investigated and any employer found
to have violated the rules will face serious consequences. Those
employers who are found to have lied about their efforts to hire Canadians
could face potential criminal prosecution with sanctions that include fines and
jail time.
Our government will continue to pursue significant reforms to the Temporary
Foreign Worker Program to ensure that employers make greater efforts to recruit
and train Canadians and that it is only used as a last and limited resort when
Canadians are not available.
