Temporary Foreign Worker Program (Canada)

The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) in Canada allows employers to hire foreign workers to fill short-term labor shortages when qualified Canadians are not available. It aims to help businesses meet immediate needs while ensuring foreign workers are treated fairly. Employers must obtain a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to prove that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively impact the Canadian job market. The program covers various industries and job types, facilitating the movement of skilled and unskilled workers into Canada for specific periods, contributing to the economy and supporting labor demands.
