#CBSA will publish guidance for importers on the counter-tariffs (surtax) and how they apply at the border. We’ll let you know once more information is available on the CBSA website: cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications…
Effective September 8, Canada will impose counter-tariffs of 15, 25, and 50 per cent on products drawn from those targeted by U.S. Section 338 and Section 232 tariffs, with each product matching the corresponding U.S. rate.

Latest scam unfolding: Beware!
An agent outside Canada was reported selling a scheme to obtain 2 year "open work permit" for individuals whose status in Canada is expiring.
Modus operandi - create an EE profile, inflate the score by adding fake work experience, intentional error in age, intentional error in reporting IELTS score.
Obtain an ITA, submit PR application and apply for BOWP.
If you are looking to buy into such a scheme, please know that this is intentional misrepresentation and you are dealing with IRCC ver 3.0.
The decision will be swift and consequences will be serious including a 5 year ban.
Translation - DO NOT DO IT.
Applications for PR in Express Entry are being processed quite fast; 3-5 months and BOWP processing is over 5 months.
So the chances are that your application for PR will be decided upon before your BOWP application.
Instead, if your work permit is expiring and you have no option of an employer who can offer you a job with an LMIA, consider following:
1. French NCLC 5 in speaking and listening to obtain a closed work permit
2. Advancing your study credentials by enrolling in another study program
3. Only, if you really need to be in Canada then change your status to a visitor.
4. Really consider going back and gaining meaningful foreign work experience.
5. Look at other countries or options elsewhere.

@IRCC - Thank you for the wonderful work in finding 800 claims with striking similarities between BOC narratives of many of the claims.
Now it's upto the Refugee Protection Division to sign on the IRCC officer's recommendation :
Find that the claimants are not convention refugees as described in section 96 of immigration and refugee protection act (IRPA) nor are the persons in need of protection as described in section 97 of IRPA.
Claims have address linked to a consultant in Mississauga.

I call b.s. For months, NGOs, municipalities and provinces have been complaining about illegals and asylum claimants in shelters; however, when IRCC asked for info or to meet these people, there is no response. Shelters should not get any tax dollars until they provide access.

Canada has updated its examples of financial abuse of foreign workers to include "short-term layoff or lack of work where the employer was aware that the layoff would occur during the employment contract and the employee only found out after they started working."

Document fraud is a serious crime in Canada.
It is against the law to lie or send false information or documents to IRCC. It’s called misrepresentation and can involve either falsifying or altering documents, such as:
• Passports and travel documents
• Visas
• Diplomas, degrees and apprenticeship or trade papers
• Certificates of birth, marriage, final divorce, annulment, separation or death
• Police certificates
You are responsible for all the information in your application, even if a representative fills it out for you. If you send false documents or information, we can refuse your application and forbid you from entering Canada for at least 5 years, among other consequences.
Learn what happens if you give false information: canada.ca/en/immigration-ref…
