Agri Food Pilot Program

Agri Food Pilot Program

Canada’s Agri-Food Pilot Program provides a dedicated pathway to permanent residence for experienced, non-seasonal workers in the agriculture and agri-food sector. This initiative addresses ongoing labor shortages in critical agricultural industries, ensuring stability and growth in Canada's food production system.

  • Education: A Canadian high school diploma or an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) verifying equivalent foreign education.
  • Settlement Funds: Proof of funds (if applicable) to support settlement in Canada.

Legal Status: If applying from within Canada, the applicant must maintain valid temporary resident status.

  • Meat Product Manufacturing (NAICS 3116): Butchers, meat cutters, laborers in food processing.
  • Greenhouse, Nursery & Floriculture Production (NAICS 1114): General farm workers, harvesting laborers.
  • Animal Production (NAICS 1121-1129): Livestock workers, farm supervisors.

Each industry has designated National Occupational Classification (NOC) codes that determine eligible job roles.
