Temporary Foreign Workers is everyone with a work permit for their first three years (or longer!) regardless of qualifications -- NAFTA means doctors, engineers, and software developers are TFWs for a few years at least until/unless they apply for permanent residency. The idea that they are somehow less wealthy than the average immigrant is incorrect. So to answer "with what salary?": The one from their jobs.
- MAGZine 5y agoThis is factually incorrect. NAFTA workers--TN visas--are not part of the the TFW program, which is something entirely different and requires market assessment impacts. https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/programs/temporary-foreign-worker.html https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/progr...
- freeone3000 5y agoMy residence status for three years under NAFTA was Temporary Foreign Worker. I still have the paper permit. I was exempt from a labor market opinion but all other requirements, such as a single employer sponsor, applied until permanent residency.
