Following a peak in the number of migrants admitted to Canada via its Temporary Foreign
Worker Program, the program underwent significant changes in 2014 and 2015 that will
undoubtedly affect the lives of temporary foreign workers in Canada. These changes include a
limitation on the length of time temporary foreign workers are allowed to remain in the country,
a greater distinction between high- and low-wage workers, and more restricted rights for lowwage workers. So far, the impacts of these recent policy changes on temporary foreign workers
in Canada have not been the subject of much research.
