The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) permits Canadian employers to hire international workers when Canada workers cannot qualify for a job position. When this new program would be launched, eligible foreign workers would be able to work in Canada. They should apply for a suitable Canada visa sooner so they get to work in Canada sooner!

Temporary Foreign Worker Program
Under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, employers in Canada hire workers from foreign countries for temporary job positions. Canadian employers can only hire international workers when the job position cannot be filled by a qualified Canadian worker.
Though the visa under this program is only valid for 6 months, it can still be extended. Moreover, the employed foreign worker can only work for one employer. They will be living in the same province as their workplace.
