13 Frequently Asked Questions How do workers become eligible for this program? Through its more than 150 offices, Mexico sministry of Labour recruits the workers from a pool of individuals who wish to apply to be selected as a seasonal agricultural worker. What skill level does a seasonal worker have? Initial working experience is proven before Mexico s Ministry of Labour, upon entering the Program. The majority have developed skills in planting and harvesting in both greenhouse and open field operations. Workers from Mexico also have experience in apiary farms and animal husbandry. In addition, the experience they accumulate during their initial stay is recognized. Why are Mexican workers interested in participating in the program? The Program offers an opportunity to supplement their household income and learn additional skills applicable to their production context in Mexico. 13
14 Frequently Asked Questions (Cont.) Who gets to decide if a worker returns to the same employer? A worker will return to the same farm when employer and worker coincide that the first time they partnered was satisfactory to both. At the end of every season, the employer may request that the worker come back the following year. At the same time, workers may agree to return based on whether they found that housing and working conditions were satisfactory. What type of health screening is provided for workers prior to travelling to Canada? To be able to engage in the Seasonal Agricultural Program all workers must go through a medical examination performed by a health provider approved by Canadian Government health Officials. 14
