Canada targets 230,000 temporary foreign workers in 2026

Canada aims to admit up to 230,000 temporary foreign workers through its two major programs by 2026, according to the federal government's annual immigration levels plan. The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) will likely see 60,000 new hires, while the International Mobility Program (IMP) anticipates admitting 170,000 workers this year.

Canada is introducing new rules that could allow certain employers to hire more low-wage temporary foreign workers, with the limit potentially increasing from 10% to 20% of an employer's workforce.
