Pilot program seeks to reward companies that better protect temporary foreign workers

The employer’s trusted status would also be flagged to potential workers in the government’s job bank.

The temporary foreign worker program is designed to attract workers from abroad to fill short-term labour market gaps in cases where no Canadians or permanent residents are available. Employment Minister Randy Randy Boissonnault, who made the announcement today, says employers involved in the pilot program will need to go through a more rigorous upfront assessment.

Agricultural companies will be able to apply to be part of the pilot in September, and all other employers will be eligible in January.
