Procedures for hiring foreign agricultural workers in Canada.
It is possible for employers who are interested in hiring temporary foreign workers to fill specific positions related to agriculture output to be able to use one of the TFWP agricultural streams to hire people. In order to make it easier for temporary foreign workers to be hired in the agricultural sector, Canada provides two different streams of employment opportunities. First and foremost, in order to be eligible for either of the two streams, a company must make certain that they satisfy the broad conditions presented below:
The activity must be related to on-farm primary agriculture and fall under one of the following National Occupation Classification (NOC) codes: 80020, 80021, 21112, 82031, 84120, 85103, and 85101. Production must be in specified commodity sectors that are included on Canada's national commodity list.
It is possible for an employer to be eligible to engage temporary foreign workers through the regular Agricultural Stream or the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP) if they match the conditions that have been outlined above.
The SAWP sets controls on the employment of Foreign agricultural laborers in Canada.
Through the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP), employers are given the opportunity to engage temporary foreign workers to fill temporary employment in agricultural production for a period of up to eight months at a time. It is necessary for all roles to fulfill the general requirements for employing agricultural laborers from other countries. In addition, workers from other countries must be citizens of Mexico or of one of the Caribbean nations that are parties to the bilateral agreement that facilitates the Southeast Asian Workforce Program (SAWP). You are able to submit an application for an LMIA that specifies the SAWP requirements if you are an employer who satisfies the requirements for the SAWP.
