Frequently Asked Questions

How can the agriculture sector attract seasonal workers?

Canada’s agriculture sector heavily relies on seasonal foreign workers during harvest and production peaks. Attracting these workers involves structured immigration programs and strong employment conditions.

Ways to attract seasonal agricultural workers:

  • Use the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP): Employers can hire workers annually from partner countries like Mexico and the Caribbean.
  • Apply through the Agricultural Stream of the TFWP: This allows LMIA-backed recruitment for farming, livestock, and food production roles.
  • Offer attractive working conditions: Competitive pay, decent housing, and local transport improve appeal.
  • Rehire returning workers: Repeat hiring builds loyalty and reduces onboarding costs.
  • Work with recruitment agencies: Experts help manage paperwork and ensure compliance with regulations.
