Canada Introduces 84 In-Demand Jobs for Foreign Workers
The Government of Canada has released a list of 84 in-demand occupations as part of its Recognised Employer Pilot (REP) Phase 2 programme, which aims to address labor shortages by allowing temporary foreign workers (TFWs) to fill roles lacking sufficient local labor supply. This list was last updated on March 2, 2026, and applications for these positions have been accepted since January 2024.
The occupations span various sectors, including healthcare, skilled trades, agriculture, food processing, and service industries. A key requirement of the programme is that employers must pay foreign workers wages that are comparable to those earned by Canadian citizens and permanent residents for similar jobs in the same location, with equivalent skills and experience.
The list includes roles such as engineering managers, registered nurses, veterinarians, chefs, and retail salespersons, among others.
