Planning to recruit from abroad? Want to work in Canada? The Temporary Foreign Work Program is divided into sub-categories or streams. Canadian employers who wish to hire temporary foreign workers must apply through a TFWP stream that supports their hiring needs.
Learn more about the seven different TFWP streams below. Employers who plan to hire a temporary foreign worker who will be paid at or above the median hourly wage of their province or territory must apply for an LMIA through the TFWP stream for high-wage workers, demonstrating that they were unable to find a Canadian citizen or permanent resident to fill the position.
Once an employer is issued a positive LMIA for a high-wage skilled position, they must send a copy of the LMIA to the worker which enables them to apply for a Canadian work permit through a work permit application or a permanent residency application, depending on eligibility.
LMIA documents are valid for six months only, so ideally, foreign workers must apply for their work permits as soon as possible. Employers who plan to hire a temporary foreign worker who will be paid less than the median hourly wage of their province or territory must apply for an LMIA through the TFWP stream for low-wage workers, demonstrating that they were unable to find a Canadian citizen or permanent resident to fill the position.
Hiring low-wage workers requires employers to meet additional requirements to ensure the workplace rights and safety of low-wage non-resident workers. Once an employer is issued a positive LMIA for a low-wage skilled position, they must send a copy of the LMIA to the worker which enables them to apply for a Canadian work permit through a work permit application or a permanent residency application, depending on eligibility. The LMIA is valid for six months after being issued. Below are descriptions of the seven TFWP feeds.

Employers can hire agricultural labourers to work in Canada for up to eight months during peak farming seasons under bilateral agreements with particular nations. Kitts-Nevis, St. Canada also has agreements with Mexico and several Caribbean countries Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program to facilitate the movement of seasonal workers in the agricultural industry. The entry of temporary foreign workers in Canada is driven largely by employer demand.
