Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) is seeking your support in promoting a 2026 survey of temporary foreign workers and encouraging participation among temporary foreign workers within your network. The survey is open from September 15 to November 10 and seeks feedback from temporary foreign workers on their experiences living and working in Canada.

Building on a similar exercise conducted in 2023, this initiative will support ongoing assessment of the Migrant Worker Support (MWS) Program and help ESDC better understand workers’ awareness of their rights, access to supports and services, and experiences navigating life and working in Canada.

Temporary foreign workers can provide their responses using a smartphone or computer with internet access. The survey can be accessed and completed both within and outside Canada, is available in 10 languages, and should take respondents approximately 15 minutes to complete.

Linked below are survey invitation materials in all 10 survey languages.
