The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) is a valuable solution that allows Canadian employers to hire foreign workers on a temporary basis when suitable Canadian workers are not readily available. Our mission is to assist employers in navigating the TFWP and facilitate the hiring of temporary foreign workers for their specific labor needs.

Our TFWP Services
Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) Application
The TFWP is typically employer-driven, meaning that Canadian employers must obtain a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) before hiring a foreign worker. The LMIA serves as proof that there is a genuine labor shortage for the specific position. Our team of experts will guide you through the LMIA application process, ensuring your application is comprehensive and aligns with Canadian regulations.

Temporary Work Permits
Foreign workers hired under the TFWP are granted temporary work permits, which allow them to work in Canada for a limited duration. The duration of the work permit is typically tied to the length of the job offer. We assist in the work permit application process, ensuring your temporary foreign workers can start their employment seamlessly.

Occupation-Specific
The TFWP is occupation-specific, and the job positions must meet certain requirements. The program is designed to address specific labor shortages in particular occupations and industries. Our consultants will help you determine the eligibility of your job positions under the TFWP.

Program Categories
Within the TFWP, there are various categories, including the High-Wage, Low-Wage, and Primary Agriculture streams. Each stream has its own set of requirements and guidelines. We’ll help you identify the appropriate category for your labor needs and guide you through the application process.

Recruitment Efforts
Canadian employers are required to demonstrate their efforts to recruit Canadian citizens and permanent residents before applying for an LMIA to hire a temporary foreign worker. We will collaborate with you to develop and implement effective recruitment strategies to meet this requirement, ensuring the best chances for success.

Workers’ Rights
Temporary foreign workers in Canada are entitled to the same labor rights and protections as Canadian workers. Employers must provide safe working conditions and pay wages that meet or exceed prevailing wage rates. We’ll ensure that your employment practices align with these essential rights and protections.

Pathways to Permanent Residency
Some temporary foreign workers may be eligible to transition to permanent residency in Canada through various immigration programs, such as the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) or the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). We’ll provide guidance and support for your temporary foreign workers who aspire to make Canada their permanent home.

Regular Monitoring
The Canadian government regularly monitors the program to ensure compliance with its regulations and to safeguard the rights of temporary foreign workers. We will help you navigate these requirements and ensure that your ongoing compliance is maintained.
