Opening the door

Article Abstract:

The Canadian government is testing a pilot project to find out whether it is in the country's best interests to ease employment restrictions for spouses of foreign workers with temporary status. Canada's existing policy bars an accompanying spouse to work in the country and makes employment authorizations almost impossible to obtain. The pilot project applies only to married couples and not to same-sex or common-law partners. In addition, employment authorizations for spouses are limited to those accompanying highly skilled foreign workers. This policy should enable Canada to attract the best foreign employees while helping domestic employers meet their personnel needs.
