Human Resources Development Canada(HRDC) through its network of Human Resource Centres, administers the Caribbean/Mexican Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program on behalf of the Government of Canada. HRDC requires employers, through their human resource planning strategies, to ensure that Canadian citizens and permanent residents are always considered for employment before employing foreign workers. The Caribbean/Mexican Seasonal Agricultural Workers’ Program was first implemented in 1966 following negotiations between Canada and Jamaica to facilitate the entry of Jamaican workers for temporary employment in the growing and processing of agricultural products during peak demand periods. The C/MSAWP was created to provide a supplementary source of reliable and qualified seasonal labour in order to improve Canada's prosperity by ensuring that crops are planted and harvested in a timely fashion. These measures help to maintain the livelihoods of Canadian and permanent resident workers in the agricultural industry as well as in other industries that directly or indirectly participate in and benefit from a strong and vital agricultural industry. In Ontario this program has responded to a critical shortage of available workers suitable for seasonal agricultural work. 3, record 1, English, - Caribbean%20and%20Mexican%20Seasonal%20Agricultural%20Workers%20Program

Par l'intermédiaire de son réseau de Centres de ressources humaines, Développement des ressources humaines Canada (DRHC) administre le Programme des travailleurs agricoles saisonniers des Antilles et du Mexique au nom du Gouvernement du Canada. DRHC exige que les employeurs, dans le cadre de leurs stratégies de planification des ressources humaines, examinent toujours la candidature des citoyens canadiens et des résidents permanents avant celle des travailleurs étrangers. Le Programme des travailleurs agricoles saisonniers des Antilles et du Mexique a d'abord été mis en œuvre en 1966 à la suite des négociations entre le Canada et la Jamaïque visant à faciliter l'entrée des travailleurs jamaïcains durant la période de pointe afin de combler les emplois temporaires dans la culture et la transformation des produits agricoles. Le PTASA/M a été créé dans le but d'obtenir une source supplémentaire de travailleurs saisonniers fiables et qualifiés afin d'améliorer la prospérité du Canada grâce à la garantie que les cultures sont plantées et récoltées à temps. Ces mesures aident à préserver le gagne-pain des travailleurs canadiens et des résidents permanents dans l'industrie agricole et dans les autres industries qui participent et tirent profit directement ou indirectement d'une industrie agricole vigoureuse. En Ontario, ce programme répond à une pénurie de travailleurs saisonniers disponibles durant la saison des travaux agricoles. 2, record 1, French, - Programme%20des%20travailleurs%20agricoles%20saisonniers%20des%20Antilles%20et%20du%20Mexique
