Canada's immigration programs facilitate both the temporary and permanent movement of workers with a policy emphasis on transitioning temporary foreign workers to permanent resident status. A growing area of movement into Canada and a key focus of the federal government are the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) and the International Mobility Program (IMP). The government has created numerous opportunities for these workers to remain permanently in Canada. In addition, over the last decade, the provincial and territorial governments have rapidly strengthened their own immigration selection programs, many of them focusing on highly skilled workers and international student recruitment. No relocation strategy is complete without a review of all federal, provincial and/or territorial programs.
