Abstract: The movement of temporary foreign workers between the United States and Canada represents a critical yet understudied aspect of North American labour mobility. This article examines recent trends in the number of temporary foreign workers from the United States in Canada and their employment patterns, industrial distribution and earnings. These trends showcase the interconnectedness of the U.S. and Canadian labour markets and shed light on the economic contributions of these workers to various sectors in Canada.
