Many foreign workers are currently being laid off due to this current economic crisis surrounding COVID-19. Some industries will not recover completely - English language schools for instance.
What support or options are available to foreign workers who are depending on their LMIA but they are laid off? This is a time where foreign workers could get exploited e.g. the employer agrees to continue sponsoring them on paper but the foreign worker has to repay all wages to the employer under the table since the company can't afford to pay them.
