Inspectors are visiting workplaces throughout Quebec to ensure that temporary foreign workers are safe and healthy, targeting six main sectors of the economy. According to provincial
Immigration Minister Jean Boulet, “with the relaxation of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, the government of Quebec needed to improve the health and safety resources available to
temporary foreign workers and their employers.” These health and safety inspections will help raise awareness in workplaces about the rights and obligations of workers and their employers and
help foreign workers know their rights.

On May 11, 2022, the Government of Canada updated the table that shows how much money Express Entry candidates need to settle in Canada.
To be eligible, candidates must update their settlement fund numbers in their Express Entry profiles no later than June 8, 2022. This action will not affect the applicants’ tie-breaker situation.
The Canadian Government updates the minimum amount of settlement funds every year, based on 50% of the low-income cut-off totals.
Despite these changes being small, they still can affect some applicants’ eligibility.
