Temporary Foreign Workers
The Temporary Foreign Worker Program allows foreign workers to work in Canada for a short period of time. The TFWP typically provides employment to workers for 6 months. The work permit can be extended as well. Foreign workers can only work for one employer under TFWP.
When the work permit is about to expire, workers have to apply for an extension or have to leave Canada
