IMPORTANT: EMPLOYER RESPONSIBILITIES (Please Read)
Temporary Foreign Workers have the same rights as Canadians and permanent residents and are covered under the same labour legislation and regulations. The Government of Canada takes the health and safety of foreign workers very seriously and will not tolerate any form of abuse of foreign workers or of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.

When hiring a Temporary Foreign Worker for the Low-wage Stream of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, Employers should be aware of their responsibilities which include:
- Adhering and complying with federal-provincial/territorial legislation and regulations pertaining to recruitment, employment standards and occupational health and safety.
- Making reasonable efforts to provide a workplace that is free from physical, sexual, psychological and financial abuse and must not confiscate the temporary foreign worker's identification.
- Ensuring that the temporary foreign worker(s) are performing the same occupation and duties as you had offered them and were reported by you during the application process.
- Ensuring that the working conditions in the offer of employment meet generally accepted Canadian standards and remain so for the duration of the employment.
- You must provide temporary foreign workers with the same wages and benefits as those provided to Canadian and permanent resident employees working in the same occupation that are consistent with the prevailing wage for the occupation and region where the worker is employed. Wages paid during employment must remain substantially the same as the wages offered and not less favourable.
- Employers must always ensure that the TFWs they want to hire under the TFW Program are covered from the provincial/territorial workplace safety insurance provider, where required by law. In provinces/territories where the provincial/territorial legislation allows employers the flexibility to opt for a private insurance plan, employers must ensure that:
- Pay for the round-trip transportation costs (for example plane, train, boat, car, bus) of the temporary foreign worker (TFW) to the location of work in Canada, and back to the TFW's country of permanent residence.
- Providing or ensuring that suitable and affordable housing is available.
- Providing the worker with a copy an employment contract which has been signed by the employer and the worker which clearly outlines the terms and conditions of employment.
- Not recovering costs of hiring the temporary foreign worker(s) such as the LMIA fee, recruitment, etc. This also applies to any third parties used.
- Reporting any errors or changes to an approved LMIA or the temporary foreign worker to ESDC/Service Canada.
- Retaining all documentation that relates to compliance with program acts, regulations and requirements for a period of six years beginning on the first day of employment of the foreign national.
- Giving all reasonable assistance to an officer conducting an inspection such as but not limited to attending interviews and on-site inspections, answering questions, and providing information and documentation that relates to all Program conditions and requirements. Inspections with or without prior notice can be conducted anytime within a six-year period beginning on the first day of employment of the foreign worker.
