What is seasonal work?

Seasonal work is defined as temporary employment provided to workers for short periods of time. Existing labour shortages in Canada have prompted the Canadian government to create programs geared towards Canadian employers so that they can hire foreign workers when Canadian citizens and/or permanent residents are not available to take on those jobs.

Seasonal worker programs are available for:

Businesses that open only for 3-9 months per year Employers that need extra workers during peak periods Businesses mainly in the fields of agriculture, landscaping, fishing, seafood processing, accommodation, food, recreation, road transportation, construction, forestry and logging
