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.
