Our Mission

Our economy is growing stronger every day. The demand for quality assistance is becoming more even more demanding. TFWA, since opening our doors, has seen a substantial amount of questions and problems arise from the caregiver/skilled/unskilled worker division. Your dream of coming to Canada and creating a better life for yourself and your family slowly start disappearing when things go wrong.
TFWA is dedicated to helping you. We are here for you 24 hours a day. Your membership stays valid with us and membership is valid for 2 years. The only time your membership becomes “void” is when your status becomes permanent or when you are no longer a Foreign Worker in Canada.
Temporary Foreign Workers Association does not contact or speak to any parties regarding your situation unless it is authorized by you. TFWA can advise you on how to handle your situation in a respectable, harm free, worry free way. We have successfully assisted over 1000 clients in our past. We can also provide you with as many referrals as you like!
To become a member, all you have to do is apply online! Fill out the application and click “submit”. We will get in touch with you! When your application is finalized, you will receive your Temporary Foreign Workers Association card in the mail within a few weeks.
You must sign the back and carry your card with you at all times. Assistance, free of charge, no matter how much you need, is yours by either showing us your card at the time of your appointment or giving us your membership number via internet or phone.
Please note that assistance is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
