• employers applying under the Agricultural stream or Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program can submit a previously valid Housing Inspection Report (HIR), and 农场工或农产品加工类的雇主可使用以前的有效住屋报告。工签有效期三年内，或员工宿舍照片。
• the name change processes for employers wishing to change the name of already identified foreign worker, for reasons related to COVID-19, has been expedited 由于疫情原因，更改/替换LMIA申请人的流程会加速处理

Note: If an employer cannot submit a valid HIR due to COVID-19, they must try to provide a satisfactory HIR obtained within the previous 3 years. They must also provide a valid HIR to ESDC within the duration of the work permit issued by that LMIA. If an employer cannot provide a satisfactory HIR obtained in the previous 3 years, an LMIA can be issued if photos of the accommodation are provided and the employer agrees to submit an updated HIR to ESDC within the duration of the work permit issued by that LMIA.
