The changes implemented for the TFW program does include all foreign workers, irrespective of country of origin. The 4 year cumulative period starts April l, 2011. If a foreign worker has accumulated 4 years of working in Canada (under a WP), after this date, then he/she becomes ineligible (there are exceptions). See highlights excerpted from CIC below:

Cumulative duration
Starting on April 1, 2011, you will be able to work in Canada for a maximum period of four years. Therefore, you will need to start counting the time you work in Canada as of April 1, 2011. However, there are some exceptions to this rule if:

•the work you intend to do in Canada creates or maintains significant social, cultural or economic benefits or opportunities for Canadian citizens or permanent residents,
•the work you intend to do in Canada relates to an international agreement between Canada and one or more countries (including seasonal agricultural workers),
•your work is done while you are authorized to study,
•48 months have passed since you accumulated 4 years of work in Canada.
If you do not work during the entire specified period on your work permit (for example you have a work permit valid for four years and you are sick or you leave temporarily Canada), you may need to submit proof of time not worked when you apply for another work permit later on and you are close to the four-year maximum. Examples of proof documents include but are not limited to:

•passport entry and exit stamps,
•Record of Employment from Service Canada,
•receipt of severance pay,
•letter from a foreign educational institution where you attended school,
•travel receipts (tickets, boarding passes),
•proof of receipt of maternity/parental benefits,
•letter from physician confirming you were on medical leave,
•any other document that demonstrates that you were not working in Canada while on a work permit.

OB 275-C does specify more details on this.

I was under impression that 4 year period was not applied for skilled worker occupation especially to NOC O & A level jobs, am I correct ?
