Immigrating to Canada through express entry system is not easy for all as getting a job offer before landing in Canada is a real herculean task.

If you are looking forward to immigrate to Canada and not able to make in express entry program, temporary foreign worker program can be a one good option for you

But there is a hope for applicants who cannot afford such high costs. Consider applying through Temporary worker program. In its earlier version, or say soon to expire present version, getting permanent resident card as a temporary foreign worker is not easy.

However, with the proposed changes to temporary foreign worker program Canada, all is set to change.

6. Employers be authorized to hire workers for certain low-wage positions in regions with a six percent or higher unemployment, and the previously excluded positions from hiring would now be eligible to do so.
7. The workers would not be sent back after four years of the contract period
8. Pathway to permanent residency status be made
9. Removal of the “cumulative duration” rule, which currently makes certain workers ineligible for new work permits if they have been working in Canada for four years and bans them from applying for a new one for an additional four years.
10. Fixed-term employment contracts to be would be given same rating points as of permanent work contracts.
11. Caregivers contract can be extended for such further period
12. Agriculture workers be treated as industrial worker
13. Temporary foreign workers be allowed multiple entry visas
