MP Template Letter, 4 and 4 rule

The federal government has changed the rules regarding how long seasonal workers that enter Canada under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program can actually stay in Canada. Once a seasonal foreign worker was accumulated 4 years of time worked in Canada, they will not be allowed to enter Canada for 4 years.  Note, this only applies to seasonal workers coming in under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, and not the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program.  The Beekeepers Commission of Alberta board strongly recommends that all members use the draft letter created by the labour committee and send it to their MP.
