This is not what I've read from other forums. If I understand correctly, your husband got a travel visa to enter/exit Canada. When he gets to the point of entry (Vancouver) he will then be issued a work permit provided that he brings a bunch of document with him including a letter from immigration that he qualifies for a work permit. However, there is a current stop on Food Service Industry (Sales & Service) and work permit may not be issued when he gets to Vancouver and risking of getting sent back.

Here you can find the NOC affected:

I stand corrected! I saw this on the same page!

▼ 3) Does this moratorium affect temporary foreign workers already in Canada or about to come to Canada?

Temporary foreign workers already in Canada who have a valid work permit issued under a Food Services Sector LMO may continue working as per their present work permit conditions.
Temporary foreign workers who have been approved for a work permit by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) but have not yet arrived in Canada will not be affected. They will remain eligible for a work permit at a port of entry, if they are otherwise admissible to Canada.
Foreign nationals who have not yet had a decision made on their work permit application will be affected. Foreign nationals who submitted their work permit application prior to the suspension will be notified that their work permit application is suspended until a final decision is made on the LMO.
Foreign nationals who apply directly at a port of entry, a visa post or inland office for a work permit after their LMO has been suspended cannot be issued a work permit based on that LMO.

It will only be issued at the POE which in your case in Calgary International Airport Immigration Counter.
Please ensure you have all the supporting documentation.
Good Luck!
