US Temporary Foreign Workers Declining in Canada: What It Means for Immigration and Business Growth
A new report highlights a noticeable downtrend in the number of U.S. temporary foreign workers choosing Canada for employment opportunities. As global mobility shifts, this trend presents both challenges and opportunities for new immigrants and businesses alike. At Arrowhead Consulting, we stay ahead of these changes to ensure our clients—from skilled workers to business owners—are equipped to thrive in a competitive immigration landscape.
📉 Why the Downtrend in US Temporary Foreign Workers?
Recent findings reveal a decrease in temporary foreign workers arriving from the United States due to:
-
Policy tightening and longer work permit processing times.

Increased opportunities within the U.S. itself post-pandemic.
-
Competitive immigration programs launched by other global markets.
-
Shifts in employer recruitment patterns toward local and other international workers.
