Temporary Foreign Workers
Providing information to temporary foreign workers about their rights in Canada
Temporary foreign workers are entitled to be informed about their rights in Canada. Therefore, the employer must provide the foreign worker with up-to-date information about their rights in Canada. The employer must provide this information on or before the first day of work, and in the worker’s language of choice (either English or French, the two official languages of Canada). The employer must also make this information available to the temporary foreign worker throughout their period of employment.
Information on the rights of temporary foreign workers can be found on Canada.ca:
