Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP)
Temporary Foreign Workers Program at Maple Leaf Foods
Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) is designed to help employers who struggle to find qualified Canadian workers. The program permits eligible foreign workers to work in Canada for a limited period of time.
There are several different streams within that program which allow companies to seek and hire employees from abroad. To access this program, employers must obtain a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
Visit the federal government’s website to learn more about the TFWP program: Hire a temporary foreign worker with a Labour Market Impact Assessment.
To research other ways to live and work in Canada, we encourage you to visit the Government of Canada website.
Support for Ukrainian Refugees
Canada is one of the welcoming countries that opened its doors to Ukrainian newcomers. A Canada-Ukrainian Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) has been made available for those fleeing Ukraine and their immediate family members. It offers Ukrainians and their family members free, extended temporary status and allows them to work, study, and stay in Canada until it is safe for them to return home.
Maple Leaf Foods is committed to providing Ukrainian applicants with available opportunities at our company to support them during these difficult times.
If you are a Ukrainian newcomer, you can look for Maple Leaf Foods opportunities at the Jobs for Ukraine – Job Bank and our Job Search page. Newcomers to Canada can access information about our jobs through local settlement services.
