Agri-Food Immigration Pilot

The Agri-Food Immigration Pilot is a targeted pathway to permanent residence for experienced, non-seasonal workers in specific agriculture and food-processing occupations — created to address chronic labour shortages in an industry that has historically relied heavily on temporary foreign workers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does seasonal farm work qualify?

No — the pilot specifically requires a non-seasonal, full-time, indeterminate job offer, which distinguishes it from seasonal agricultural worker programs.

Is this the same as the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP)?

No — SAWP is a temporary work stream, while the Agri-Food Pilot is a direct route to permanent residence for workers already in an eligible non-seasonal role.
