Temporary Foreign Worker Program
Introduction
Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) was established in 1973, and exists to fill labour shortages in Canada when Canadian and permanent resident workers are not available. This program progressed from being limited to agricultural workers and live-in caregivers only, to including low-skilled and high-skilled workers after 2002. Before you can be issued a work permit, your potential employer may require a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) formerly known as LMO. Some jobs do not require LMIA.
The number of foreign workers in Canada increased from 100,000 workers in 2002, to 338,000 workers in 2012. Presently, TFWP is becoming more and more popular, providing many opportunities for work across different industries. We are pleased to discuss your options, and help you with your application for work permit in Canada.
