Easier for foreign families to get work in canadian province

Family members of most temporary foreign workers in British Columbia will be able to work for any employer in the province under a new pilot project launched by the Canadian government.

The announcement was made by Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney and British Columbia Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation Pat Bell.

‘Since I became Minister, I have heard from workers, employers, labor advocates and others who have asked me to make Canada more welcoming for working families coming to Canada as temporary residents,’ said Kenney.

‘With this pilot project, we will examine the benefits of allowing family members of temporary foreign workers to work while they are here with a principal applicant who has been hired because of his or her skills,’ he added.
