Temporary Foreign Worker Program
The Temporary Foreign Worker Program allows Canadian employers to hire foreign workers when no qualified Canadians are available to fill essential jobs. This program helps employers address labour shortages while ensuring opportunities for Canadians remain the priority. In most cases, employers must obtain a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to demonstrate the need for a foreign worker.
High Wage LMIA
A High-Wage LMIA applies when an employer hires a temporary foreign worker for a position that pays at or above the provincial/territorial median hourly wage. Employers hiring under this stream must:
Submit a transition plan outlining efforts to recruit, train, or retain Canadians in the long term.
Provide proof of recruitment efforts.
Meet all federal and provincial employment standards.
This stream ensures foreign workers are filling high-demand, skilled roles while supporting the growth of Canada’s economy.
Low Wage LMIA
A Low-Wage LMIA applies when an employer hires a temporary foreign worker for a position that pays below the provincial/territorial median hourly wage. Employers hiring under this stream must:
Follow caps on the proportion of low-wage temporary foreign workers they can employ.
Cover transportation, housing, and health insurance costs for the worker.
Ensure compliance with federal and provincial labour laws.
This stream is designed to help fill essential jobs in industries facing labour shortages, while maintaining strong worker protections.
