Our position is this: the employment contract that is signed by the employer and the worker is for a specified term, and that contract must be honoured by the parties. In our opinion, that is very precise.
Take the example of agricultural workers. A worker from Guatemala arrives in Canada and starts the season with a strawberry producer. The worker then wants to change employers and work for an apple producer. That requires a second work permit. That is the kind of case we want to have a sectoral permit for, the same type of work permit as Mexican workers have in Canada at present.
In terms of the amount that the employer lays out to bring the worker to Canada, it ranges from $1,000 to $10,000 per worker. It will be higher if the worker is more qualified and their skills are in demand.
