Rights of Temporary Foreign Workers in Canada


Temporary foreign workers are covered by Canadian law, which safeguards the rights of all workers. You have the same protections as Canadians and permanent residents, regardless of your immigration status.

 

As a temporary foreign worker in Canada, you have the right to:

 

Be paid


Your employer must pay you for your work as stated in your employment agreement. This includes overtime work if it is included as part of your agreement. They must comply with provincial and federal laws regarding hours of work and overtime pay.

 

A Safe and Healthy Workplace


Your employer can not give you tasks that are not safe. Your employer is not allowed to fire you or stop paying you for saying no to an unsafe job. You are allowed to refuse the work until you and the employer agree that there is no more safety problem.

Your employer needs to follow safety laws. They must pay for the training and safety equipment you need to be safe. This is very important, especially if you work with chemicals.

Not be discriminated against and a workplace free of abuse


You deserve to be treated fairly and with respect at work, no matter what your race, gender, religion, or any other factor. Employers should make sure your workplace is safe and free from any kind of harm, including physical, sexual, mental, or financial harm. Your employer or anyone who works for them should never hurt or punish you for telling them about something that's wrong. If you ever feel afraid, controlled, or alone because of something happening at work, it might be considered abuse.

Be informed of your employment conditions


Employers are required to provide you with a written employment contract that outlines the terms and conditions of your employment on or before the first day of work. It must be in English or French (your chosen official language while in Canada). Both you and your employer must sign this agreement.

 

Rest periods and breaks


Taking breaks and resting during work is important to have a healthy and effective workplace. It is the employer's job to give enough breaks and rest time as the law requires. These breaks and rest periods serve to ensure that employees are not overworked and can maintain their physical and mental well-being, leading to increased productivity and job satisfaction.

If you lose your job


Employers must provide reasonable notice before laying off employees. If they fail to do so, they must pay termination pay based on the length of employment and location. Those who lose their job through no fault of their own or due to abuse may qualify for Employment Insurance benefits.


For information about Employment Insurance visit the EI regular benefits page.

 

Access to healthcare


You have the right to access healthcare services in Canada, including medical treatment and emergency services. In the majority of cases, you are not required to pay for medical appointments or hospital treatment in Canada.

Changing Employers


You can change jobs, but your work permit may only let you work for your current employer. If you want to work for a new employer, you may need to apply for a new work permit, and your new employer would need to apply for a new Labour Market Impact Assessment from the Canadian government. This could mean going through the approval process again.

Housing Rights


Workers in the Low-Wage and Primary Agriculture streams: If your job is in the Low-Wage LMIA category or in agriculture, your employer should give you a good and affordable place to live. Your employer can require you to pay rent, electricity, and water, but rules typically make this much cheaper than normal rent in Canada.


Workers in the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program: If you're employed through the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program, your employer must provide you with appropriate housing without charge (except in British Columbia, where they can deduct housing costs from your pay). Your employment agreement should detail all allowable deductions, which vary depending on the province. For individuals from the Caribbean or  Mexico, housing and utility expenses should be included in their contracts.

Responsibilities as a Temporary Foreign Worker in Canada


As a temporary foreign worker in Canada, you also have certain responsibilities. These include:


  • Complying with Canadian laws: You must comply with all Canadian laws, including those related to employment, immigration, and taxation.
  • Reporting to work on time: You are expected to report to work on time and be reliable.

  • Respecting Canadian culture and values: You are expected to respect Canadian culture and values, including the rights of others and the laws of the land.
  • Paying taxes: You are required to pay taxes on your income earned in Canada.
  • Leaving Canada at the end of your work permit: You are required to leave Canada when your work permit expires, unless you apply for an extension or apply for permanent residence.
  • If you have a work permit that’s about to expire or that you need to change, you must apply to extend it or change the conditions on it.


You should apply to extend your work permit at least 30 days before your current permit expires.

If your work permit expires while your application is being processed, find out if you can keep working or consult with a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant.

By Dirk Propp • June 2, 2025
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing industries across the globe, and hiring is no exception. From automation of repetitive tasks to intelligent decision-making , AI technology is transforming how companies identify, engage, and hire top talent . At the forefront of this shift are platforms like Fill a Role , which combine the power of AI-driven tools with real-world hiring expertise to streamline the hiring process while preserving the human touch . This blog explores which jobs and hiring tools are most impacted by AI, how AI systems are improving efficiency, and what hiring professionals can do to stay relevant in an ever-evolving landscape. The Rise of AI in Talent Acquisition: The integration of AI capabilities in hiring isn’t just a trend—it’s a fundamental shift. From resume screening to scheduling interviews , AI is automating time-consuming tasks once handled manually by human talent sourcing. Solutions like Fill a Role harness AI-powered hiring tools and natural language processing to deliver faster, smarter hiring outcomes. These platforms leverage AI algorithms to scan thousands of job descriptions and candidate profiles in seconds, providing a shortlist of best-fit candidates with minimal effort. By using AI effectively, hiring managers can optimize workflows, reduce bias, and create a more scalable, efficient candidate experience . Which Jobs and Tools Will AI Replace? 1. Administrative HR Functions Tasks such as interview coordination, onboarding paperwork, and scheduling meetings are ripe for automation . AI chatbots and AI-assisted platforms can handle these effortlessly, freeing up human resources for more strategic tasks. Fill a Role , for example, uses automation to take care of scheduling interviews and candidate follow-ups, so talent seeker experts can focus on building relationships. 2. Resume Screening AI hiring tools have made it possible to screen thousands of resumes in minutes using data sets , AI algorithms , and pattern recognition. These tools can match qualifications, skills, and experiences to open roles more accurately than traditional manual screening. This is particularly useful for high-volume hiring, where human review of each application is no longer scalable. Fill a Role’s AI helps hiring teams filter through applicants efficiently without compromising on quality. 3. Sourcing Candidates Platforms like LinkedIn remain dominant, but AI-powered tools now automate outreach, track engagement, and recommend ideal candidates based on behaviour, skills, and preferences. Fill a Role uses generative AI to write personalized messages, identify passive candidates, and target the right talent pools, turning social media sourcing into a science. 4. Initial Candidate Screening AI can handle early-stage evaluations through chatbots and video interviews . Some tools even analyze facial expressions and voice tone to predict candidate fit, though this should be supplemented with human judgment to avoid biases. With Fill a Role , early screening is streamlined through customizable AI workflows that ensure only the best-fit candidates move forward. Hiring Tools That Leverage AI Technology Today’s most effective hiring strategies incorporate AI-powered tools that enhance the role of human talent seeker rather than replace them. Leading solutions include: ChatGPT: Ideal for content creation like job descriptions , interview questions, and candidate communication. AI Agents: Automate interactions, FAQs, and follow-ups.

Fill a Role: Offers an all-in-one solution that combines these features to simplify sourcing, screening, and hiring workflows. With platforms like Fill a Role , hiring teams benefit from real-time metrics, reduced hiring time, and increased quality of hire—all while enhancing the candidate experience .

These include: Assessing soft skills Making nuanced hiring decisions Delivering personalized candidate experiences Exercising empathy and emotional intelligence Navigating complex team dynamics AI may be able to streamline workflows , but it cannot truly understand cultural fit, long-term potential, and candidate motivation. This is where human interaction remains essential. Fill a Role recognizes this balance by enabling AI to handle the technical tasks, while letting people focus on what they do best—engaging with people. How to Future-Proof Your Role in the Age of AI To remain competitive in the age of AI hiring , HR professionals should focus on: 1. Upskilling Learning how to use AI tools , interpret metrics, and integrate automation into your daily tasks is no longer optional—it’s critical. 2.
