Canada Agri-Food Pilot – Pathway to Permanent Residency
The Agri-Food Pilot (AFP) is a specialized program that addresses labor shortages in Canada’s agriculture and food processing sectors. It provides experienced, non-seasonal workers in key industries—such as meat processing, mushroom production, greenhouse crops, and livestock farming—a direct pathway to permanent residency.
Applicants must have a valid job offer from a Canadian employer in an eligible agri-food occupation and demonstrate relevant work experience. This program ensures stability for employers who rely on a steady workforce while offering workers the opportunity to build long-term futures in Canada.
The AFP is ideal for candidates with hands-on agricultural or food production experience who are seeking permanent residency while contributing to Canada’s essential food supply chain. With clear requirements and supportive settlement opportunities, this pilot provides a practical route to Canadian PR and citizenship.
