AGRICULTURE WORKERS

The Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP) allows employers to hire temporary foreign workers (TFW) when Canadians and permanent residents are not available.

These employers can hire TFWs from participating countries for a maximum period of 8 months, between January 1 and December 15, provided they are able to offer the workers a minimum of 240 hours of work within a period of 6 weeks or less.

To qualify for the SAWP, employers must meet 3 criteria:

  • the TFWs hired must be citizens from Mexico or participating Caribbean countries

  • production must be in specific commodity sectors

  • the activity must be related to on-farm primary agriculture
