Temporary Foreign Workers in Canada Seeing Pay Hikes

Pay hikes higher than the rate of inflation for workers in Canada in the past year are likely to be a boon for foreign nationals hoping to come here under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP). Under the TFWP, there are streams, one for high-wage positions and another for low-wage positions. But all employers are required under the TFWP to pay temporary workers competitive salaries regardless of which stream they use to recruit foreign workers.
