Supplementary notes

The Temporary Foreign Worker Program allows Canadian employers to recruit foreign workers to fill temporary shortages. The employer must complete a Labour Market Impact Assessment to prove that no Canadian can fill the job and that the foreign worker will have a neutral or positive impact on the economy.
