Temporary Foreign Workers
If you’re a temporary foreign worker and are interested in this sub-category:
Your employer would have to submit a completed SINP-500-4 Hospitality Sector Recruitment and Settlement Plan to the SINP.
Once this plan is approved and you’ve completed the requirements for nomination, you can apply to the SINP in this sub-category.
The federal government sets the amount of nominations the SINP can make every year. The SINP also accepts a maximum number of applications each year. No application is guaranteed to be accepted and/or nominated.
