Canada understands the need to bring in foreign workers to help support the labour shortage and therefore provides various immigration programs to support the transition. IRCC created the Agri-Food Immigration Pilot Program Canada for fulfilling the shortage in the Canadian agriculture sector and is set to last until May 2023.
The Agri-Food Pilot Program is industry-specific and is intended for non-seasonal livestock and farmworkers who want to settle down in Canada permanently.
It is aimed at:
Meat Production
Greenhouse, nursery and floriculture production
Mushroom production and
Animal Production Sectors
There are three steps to apply under the Agri-Food Pilot program Canada:
Step 1
Make Sure your occupation and industry fall under the given list in the Agri-Food Pilot Program. Occupations that are not on this list would not qualify for this program.
Step 2
Determine your general eligibility requirements for this program. All the requirements are mandatory to be able to qualify.
