Human Resources committee  Thank you for the question. On the subject of how to improve processing of LMIA applications throughout Canada, we are in the process of making a number of changes to our own ways of doing things and our processes for accelerating decision-making and providing recommendations to employers.

Human Resources committee  We understand that the present situation is very difficult. There has been an exceptional number of applications relating to foreign workers to support various sectors, including the agri-food sector in Canada. We have worked closely with our Minister on developing an action plan to improve our service levels and especially to accelerate processing of LMIAs.
