EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY of Temporary Foreign Workers (TFW) Prairie Region Support Project Phase 1

 About the Project. The Temporary Foreign Workers (TFW) Prairie Region Support Project included immigrant-sector Service Providing Organizations (SPO’s) and Umbrella Organizations across five project zones (Northern/Central Alberta, Southern Alberta, Manitoba, Northern/Central Saskatchewan, and Southern Saskatchewan) in a collective effort to disseminate information, form local support networks, and mitigate COVID-19-related issues. CCIS played a central role, as the contract holder and fiscal agent but also for overall project management and coordination – as well as being one of the immigrant-serving SPO’s engaged in frontline service delivery. The evaluation was completed by Habitus Collective and included a post-support survey to clients, interview/survey with employers, focus groups and interviews with SPO and Umbrella organization staff, meeting observation, document review, and data analysis.
