With this latest announcement, the Government of Canada has extended the temporary measures outlined in the roadmap for an additional ten months until 30 August 2024, to better reflect the current labor market conditions and the economic outlook for the future. The extended measures are intended by the government to support employers in responding to labor market needs while serving to ensure Canadian jobs and wages are prioritized.
