A copy of the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP) employment contract no longer needs to be included with the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) application. Employers are still required to have a copy of the contract on file, signed by both the employer and workers (after they arrive), in the event of an inspection.

Please click here to obtain your SAWP E.A. Annex, to be filled out and signed by both the employer and worker prior to the worker’s first day of work.
Note – You will need your 13 character FARMS ID (e.g. ON2023-000000) and your approved 7 digit LMIA number (9000001), both of which can be found on the Email Notice from F.A.R.M.S. – LMIA XXXXXXX Has Been Approved. Your F.A.R.M.S. Administration Fee invoice number is also your F.A.R.M.S. ID.

After entering your FARMS ID, LMIA number, and your email address, you will receive an email (within 1-2 minutes) which contains:

1) MS Word document – can be filled out online, printed, and edited for each worker, or can be printed and filled out manually.
2) Adobe .pdf document – can only be printed and filled out manually.
