There are number of immigrants seeking permanent residency in Canada. The government of Canada has announced that temporary foreign workers can get experience in Canada’s agri-food sector will have a new pathway to Canadian PR starting in early 2020.
To support the ongoing labour needs of the agri-food sector, three-year Agri-Food Immigration Pilot has been launched to help retain experienced, non-seasonal foreign workers with eligible job offers in Canada’s agricultural and agri-foods industry.
Many employers engaged in agricultural industries in Canada rely on temporary foreign workers (TFWs). Seasonal agricultural workers who are employed through the Seasonal Agricultural Labor Program (SWW) receive only limited period work permits and there is no way for permanent residence.
The good news is there’s a need in certain parts of the agricultural sector for year-round labour. The Agri-Food Immigration Pilot is targeting workers for meat processing and mushroom farming. Both of these industries face some of the largest labour shortages.
The Canadian government says that the industry has exported record $ 66.2 billion in products in 2018 and supports 1 in 8 jobs across the country, but industries such as meat processing and mushroom production have found ongoing difficulty.
Every year, a maximum of 2,750 principal Candidates will be accepted for processing under the pilot. The consented candidates will also be permitted to bring their families to Canada. Conforming to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the pilot could invite around 16,500 new permanent residents to Canada over the course of the pilot’s three-year duration.
