The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) will undergo major regulatory changes in 2025, including stricter employer requirements, increased inspections, and higher penalties for labor violations.

The reforms aim to protect foreign workers from exploitation and unfair wages, ensuring Canadian employers follow ethical labor practices. The government will increase the frequency of worksite audits and implement new transparency measures requiring companies to disclose hiring justifications for foreign workers.

Employers who fail to comply with the new guidelines risk substantial fines and potential bans from hiring foreign workers in the future.
