Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) | LMIA
The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) facilitates the entry of foreign workers into Canada under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), ensuring that Canadian businesses have access to the labor they need while creating economic opportunities for Canadian citizens. This program plays a pivotal role in addressing critical labor market shortages across the country. To participate in the TFWP, it is essential for applicants to meet specific criteria, which include the following:
- Provide proof of a legitimate job offer or an employment contract from a Canadian employer. This serves as a crucial document demonstrating that a job position is available in Canada, specifically for the applicant.
- The Canadian employer must apply for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), ensuring that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively affect the local labor market.
- Upon reviewing the application, ESDC will determine whether the employer is permitted to hire a foreign worker for the specified job, ensuring that all requirements are met, and that hiring from abroad is necessary for the position.
