Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP)

Ontario Pork response to proposed Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations – Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP)

Ontario Pork does not support the federal government’s proposed TFWP program changes, as we believe that they will further destabilize the Canadian agriculture industry, which is already under assault on issues related to trade, international disease and more. The proposed TFWP changes will remove employer-specific criteria from work permits issued through the program, instead opting for open-sector permitting, which comes with many challenges which have not been addressed.
