Temporary Foreign Worker Program

The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) allows employers in Canada to hire foreign workers on a temporary basis when there are not enough qualified Canadians to fill job vacancies. This program is designed to help businesses meet their labor needs while ensuring the protection of local jobs. Employers must apply for a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to demonstrate the necessity of hiring foreign workers. The TFWP covers various sectors, aiming to address skill shortages and support economic growth, while ensuring compliance with labor laws and workers’ rights.
