SHUT DOWN: PR pathway closes for farmworkers

Canada recently shut the door on the only pathway to permanent resident status specifically for migrants on the farmwork program. As of February 13, 2025, the Agri-Food Pilot Program is closed after all available spaces (only 1,010 spots) were filled before the set closing date of May 14, 2025. Tap here for a link to the official Canadian government program website.

Why did they reduce the spots and close the applications early? Too many workers wanted to apply at a time when Canada is lowering immigration levels. The Canadian government is making it harder for working people to get permanent status.

This is not fair! All of us deserve to live with respect, to have equal rights, and to be together with our families. Do you agree?

That’s why migrant farmworkers like you are uniting to take action and win change together—including permanent resident status for all, with nobody left behind!

Did you try to apply for the Agri-Food Program?

Or were you planning to apply before it closed?
