I'll be brief. Yes, the processing times, delays, rejected applications and having to resubmit are all part of this frustrating administrivia that employers have to deal with.
We've suggested two things that might be changed to help this out. The first is to incorporate a trusted employer status within the temporary foreign worker program, so that those employers who have a good record with foreign workers could get their applications expedited. We could hold back on delays and increased turnaround times.
The second idea is to draw a distinction between those coming into the temporary foreign worker program who are truly temporary and seasonal, and those who are applying for full-time permanent work in the agriculture stream, who will transition out of the temporary foreign worker program and into permanent residency. We think that those are two options to improve the program and help correct this situation.
