I received an email this morning about this. There are about 40 workers who have not arrived in Canada, but who have a work contract with the Olymel plant. Since they have not yet arrived in Canada, there was some concern about this. These are workers from Senegal and Tunisia who were supposed to come and work at the Vallée-Jonction slaughterhouse.

Will they have to go through the whole hiring process again? Could IRCC speed up the process to allow them to come to Canada?
