Agri-Food Immigration Pilot
Agri-food is an immigration pilot launched by Immigration Canada to meet the current labour demand in the agri-food sector, especially workers in meat processing and mushroom growing, and to stimulate the development of related industries. The immigration program is a three-year pilot which will begin in 2020, and a maximum of 2,750 principal applicants will be accepted for processing each year under the pilot. The pilot is focusing on attracting skilled workers in the non-seasonal agricultural and food industries who already have more than one year of full-time experience in Canada.
