This article briefly examines the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) programs and details potential costs and benefits
that TFWs may represent for the Canadian labour market. It then outlines some recent research that shows that
TFWs have had strong labour market outcomes in Canada. Finally, it discusses the new Canadian Experience Class
and present findings that suggest that immigrants entering under this class will obtain economic success.
