Agri-Food Pilot

Status: Accepting applications until May 14, 2025

The Agri-Food Pilot helps address the labour needs of the Canadian agri-food sector.

The pilot provides a pathway to permanent residence for experienced, non-seasonal workers in specific industries and with specific occupations.

We’ve made changes to the pilot

We’ve introduced the following changes as of February 10, 2024:

  • applicants who reside in Canada when they submit their application may now choose to meet either the job offer requirement or the educational requirement
  • we now count work experience gained under an open work permit for vulnerable foreign workers towards the work experience requirement
