Introduction –
Canada is one of the most popular places for both visiting and working. It attracts a huge number of workers as well as visitors from all around the globe. To fulfil the needs of such people or visitors, the government of Canada has created distinct types of visas for visitors and also work visas for workers in Canada. One such work visa is known as the temporary foreign worker programme (TFWP), which is meant for the temporary worker Canada. It was created with the goal of assisting people who want to work in Canada for a limited time. In this brief guide, you will learn about TFWP and how you can apply for it.
TFWP Program:
So, let’s look at: What is TFWP? TFWP, also known as the “temporary foreign worker program,” is a Canada work visa that is temporary and was created by the Canadian government to offer various opportunities to foreigners who want to get work or employment in the country, i.e., Canada, for a very short time period. One of the things that you should know about the TFWP is that it permits individuals to work in Canada for only a period of six months, with many chances of extensions. And, during such an hour, the foreign individual is permitted to work only for one employer, and they get the visa and work permit for the same. As per the permit or the visa, the individuals can stay in Canada, where they have the job and they should follow the Canadian laws.
Proof of necessity is needed.
Besides that, when the work permit or the visa is going to expire, the worker or individual can apply for an extension or allowance of the work permit, or they should leave Canada and go back to their home country. There are certain requirements for temporary workers in Canada. Let’s have a look at that—the requirement to become a foreign worker, i.e., a temporary resident, in Canada is pretty extensive. Another thing you should know is that the Canadian government is keen on protecting the work or jobs of their citizens and permanent residents, so it is critical that the Canadian country provide proof of the need for foreign workers to the government.
Employer with LMIA:
So, due to this requirement regarding the proof of necessity of the foreign worker, the temporary foreign worker should have a labour market impact assessment, also known as an LMIA. The LMIA is also like a document that an employer in Canada should get from the government. So, mainly the LMIA certifies that the employer has tried to look for an employee in Canada, who is a PR and citizen, but no one was willing or available or qualified enough to do that job. It is because no one was found capable enough to do that job in Canada that the employer urgently requires a foreign worker. It takes a few months to get LMIA; therefore, the process for getting LMIA should start as early as possible.
Qualification and Eligibility for TFWP
Some of the requirements to qualify for the temporary foreign worker programme in Canada are as follows: The first and foremost thing is that you should have a job in Canada. You should prove that you will leave Canada once your work permit expires. You should also prove that you can finance your stay and that you have sufficient funds to go back to your home country. You should also prove that you have no criminal record or background. Also, it is important to prove that you are not a threat to the national security of Canada and that you have good health. Plus, it is important for you to prove that you will not work for an employer who offers striptease, escort services, erotic massage, or erotic dance. You should meet all of these needs in order to have your application accepted and be considered for the TFW program.
