Temporary Foreign Worker Webinar Resources and Feedback
In case you missed it, FCO presented a webinar hosted by Service Canada that focused on TFW Compliance Inspections and covered Service Canada's authorities and the inspection process. This FCO webinar was by far the best attended thus far and we know that not all growers were able to attend!
As the information in the presentation could not be recorded because it becomes out of date with every change to the process, we are looking into holding a second webinar. We would like to allow more growers the opportunity to ask questions directly to Service Canada as the Q & A proved to be the most valuable part of the webinar!
Service Canada is looking for feedback on the webinar - if you were in attendance, please consider filling out the survey:
