Currently the Canadian government makes it nearly impossible for migrant farm workers like you to get permanent resident (PR) status. This is not fair! PR means equal rights, the power to protect ourselves and leave bad jobs, and the ability to be together with our families. Everybody deserves these things! Do you agree?
If you do not qualify for the programs below, you are not alone! The requirements for PR are too strict and shut out many of us. Farm workers like you are uniting together to push the Canadian government to give permanent status for all!
Current permanent resident options for farm workers:
- Farmworkers in certain industries who met the requirements could apply for PR through the Agri-Food Pilot Program. NOTE: This program is now CLOSED as of February 13, 2025. This isn’t fair!

- If you are married or have a common-law partner in Canada and meet the requirements, you may be able to apply for a spousal sponsorship.

- If you are employed as a Supervisor on the farm or greenhouse, and meet the other requirements (including language test, work experience, & job offer) you may be eligible for Express Entry under the Federal Skilled Trades Program.

These options are not good enough! That’s why we are uniting to fight for our rights, including permanent status for all.
