The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) allows employers in Canada to hire foreign workers to fill labor shortages when qualified local candidates are unavailable. This program is designed to help businesses meet their workforce needs while ensuring that foreign workers are treated fairly and have proper work permits. Participants in the TFWP must meet specific eligibility criteria, including having a valid job offer and a temporary work permit. Employers must also demonstrate their efforts to recruit local talent before hiring foreign workers. The program aims to balance labor market demands while protecting the rights of both workers and local job seekers.
