Government pushes employers to hire youth -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 52

In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we’re going to talk about steps Employment and Social Development Canada is taking to make it more challenging for employers to hire temporary foreign workers. As of April 1, 2026, employers applying for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) under the low-wage stream of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program must advertise positions for a minimum of eight consecutive weeks — double the previous four-week requirement. Forcing employers to look closer at domestic candidates, specifically youth, will create opportunities for job developers. #MotivingMondays, is a weekly YouTube series dedicated to help Canadian job developers and other employer engagement professionals develop the tools, resources, expertise and network needed to excel in achieving sustainable employment outcomes for their clients and students.If you would like to join us LIVE, we meet every Monday morning online with job developers from across Canada to discuss a new topic. Meetings are 30 minutes and start at 8:30 Pacific; 9:30 Mountain; 10:30 Central; 11:30 Eastern; 12:30 Atlantic and at 1pm in Newfoundland and Labrador.To start your FREE membership in the Canadian Job Development Network, please visit: www.JobDevelopment.org and click our membership tab: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/ieuhtvc Video Link: https://youtu.be/D3lGO9HrQw4Email: [email protected]: www.JobDevelopment.org
