CFIB debunks five common myths about Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business has released a comprehensive analysis addressing widespread misconceptions about the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, representing over 100,000 small and medium-sized business owners nationwide. The report systematically refutes claims that businesses are addicted to foreign workers, that TFWs displace Canadians, suppress wages, strain public services, or facilitate worker abuse. CFIB emphasizes that temporary foreign workers constitute less than 1% of Canada's labour force and fill critical gaps when qualified Canadian candidates are unavailable. The organization has also submitted detailed recommendations for the federal government's 2026-2028 Immigration Levels Plan, advocating for streamlined processes, enhanced retention pathways, and alignment with genuine labour market requirements.
