The program is expected to be implemented at the start pf 2023 in three phases:
High-wage stream—For spouses of higher paid workers who hold a work permit;
Provinces and territories stream—For spouses of lower wage workers; and
Families of agriculture workers—This phase would specifically deal with families of seasonal agriculture workers, a key stream of employment that Canada is trying to expand as part of its economic recovery.
