Canada Sets Cap on Agri-Food Pilot Pathway to Permanent Residence for 2025

The Canadian federal government has introduced a cap on the intake for permanent residence applications under the Agri-Food Pilot program for 2025.

Key Details:

• Application Cap: A maximum of 1,010 applications will be accepted for the Agri-Food Pilot in 2025.
• End Date: The program will close to new applications once the cap is reached, or on May 14, 2025, whichever comes first.
• Previous Cap: Before this announcement, the annual application cap for the program was set at 2,750.

The Agri-Food Pilot is designed to address labor shortages in Canada’s agri-food sector, offering a pathway to permanent residence for workers in eligible occupations within the industry. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply early to secure their spot before the intake limit is reached.
