The Agri-Food Pilot helps address the labor needs of the Canadian agri-food sector by providing a pathway to permanent residence for experienced, non-seasonal workers in specific industries and occupations. This pilot program is designed to attract and retain skilled workers who contribute significantly to Canada’s agri-food industry.
As of February 10, 2024, we have introduced several changes to the pilot to make it more accessible and beneficial:
Flexible Requirements: Applicants residing in Canada when they submit their application can now choose to meet either the job offer requirement or the educational requirement.
Work Experience Inclusion: We now count work experience gained under an open work permit for vulnerable foreign workers towards the work experience requirement.
To apply for permanent residence under the Agri-Food Pilot, applicants must meet specific requirements. These include having relevant work experience in eligible industries and occupations, meeting language proficiency standards, and demonstrating the ability to settle in Canada.
The Agri-Food Pilot focuses on certain industries and occupations critical to the agri-food sector. Eligible industries include meat product manufacturing, greenhouse, nursery, and floriculture production, and animal production, among others. Eligible occupations cover roles such as general farm workers, harvesting laborers, and meat processing workers.
Applying for permanent residence under the Agri-Food Pilot involves several steps:
Check Eligibility: Ensure you meet the requirements for work experience, language proficiency, and job offer or educational criteria.
Gather Documents: Collect necessary documents, such as proof of work experience, language test results, and identification.
Submit Application: Apply online through the official portal, ensuring all information is accurate and complete.
Pay Fees: Submit the required application fees as part of your online submission.
Once you have submitted your application, IRCC will process it to ensure all criteria are met. You can track the status of your application online and receive updates throughout the process. It’s crucial to respond promptly to any requests for additional information to avoid delays.
If your application is approved, you will receive instructions on what to do next. This includes obtaining necessary travel documents, preparing for your move to Canada, and understanding what to expect upon arrival. Ensuring you are well-prepared will help ease your transition into Canadian life.
