The path forward plan for the Temporary Foreign Worker Program and the International Mobility Program

Temporary foreign workers can enter Canada through two distinct programs, the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program and the International Mobility (IM) Program. The TFW Program is jointly managed by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), and Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) under the authority of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). The TFW Program assists employers in filling their labour requirements when qualified Canadians and permanent residents are not available. The IM Program’s primary objective is to advance Canada’s broad economic, social and cultural national interests.
