While in Canada, temporary foreign workers have the same rights and protections as Canadian workers under applicable federal/provincial/territorial employment standards and occupational health and safety laws. The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) has a number of provisions to ensure the well-being of temporary foreign workers during their stay in Canada.
Temporary foreign workers need to know their rights and where to go for help if they are facing exploitation or abuse. All temporary foreign workers coming into Canada will receive an information package from the Canada Border Services Agency at their port of entry. This package will outline their rights and responsibilities and will provide information on whom to contact should they believe their rights are being violated. Under these reforms, information will also be made available to temporary foreign workers at convenient locations, such as ports of entry, Service Canada offices, visa offices and application centres and non-governmental organizations that support foreign workers.
The issue of legal recruitment is primarily a matter of provincial jurisdiction and passing on recruitment fees to temporary foreign workers is a violation of labour laws in some provinces. To improve protections for temporary foreign workers, the Minister of Employment and Social Development has written to all provincial and territorial governments encouraging provinces with laws governing unscrupulous recruiters to strengthen them, and encourage provinces without laws governing unscrupulous recruiters to implement them as quickly as possible.
The provinces and territories also have primary responsibility for establishing and enforcing health and labour standards, such as safe working conditions for all workers, including temporary foreign workers. These rules and regulations govern areas including work hours, overtime pay, sick or vacation leave and health and safety standards. All temporary foreign workers have the same rights as Canadian citizens in filing a complaint against an employer under provincial labour standards codes.
The countries of temporary foreign workers participating in the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program station government representatives in their consulates across the country so that they can assist the workers in a variety of situations and serve as interpreters when needed. Before the workers’ departure to Canada, these foreign governments organize information sessions to ensure that workers understand the program and their rights and responsibilities.
