The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) is a Canadian government initiative designed to provide opportunities for foreign workers seeking employment in Canada for a specified duration. Under the TFWP, individuals are permitted to work in Canada for up to 36 months, with the potential for extensions. During this period, foreign workers are authorized to work exclusively for a single employer and are issued a work permit and visa. They are required to reside in the Canadian location where their employment is based and must adhere to Canadian laws and regulations.

As the expiration date of the work permit and visa approaches, workers have the option to apply for an extension to continue their employment in Canada. Alternatively, if an extension is not granted, they must depart from Canada and return to their home country.
