migrant workers

Year-round migrant workers can apply for permanent residency through a national pilot program provided they have at least one year of non-seasonal, full-time work experience in Canada.

SAWP work agreements are protected by regulations set by both governments and signed by the worker and the employer. As well, SAWP workers have the same rights and privileges as Canadian workers as soon as they arrive.

Working in Canada, through the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP) and the agriculture stream of the federal Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program, is helping build better lives for migrant workers, their families, and their communities in their home countries.
