At InfoTET Québec, our goal is to ensure that Temporary Foreign Workers (TFWs) are aware of the resources and information available to make their work experience in the province smoother. One key organization to know is the CNESST.
The CNESST (Commission des normes, de l’équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail) is the main government agency responsible for establishing, overseeing, and enforcing labor and workplace safety laws in Quebec.
Its role is to ensure that standards regarding working conditions, health, safety, and equity are clear and applied to all workers, including TFWs. You can consult official CNESST.
The CNESST defines and supervises labor and safety standards in Quebec. However, it does not provide personalized guidance to Temporary Foreign Workers. To clarify questions about labor standards, workplace safety, or other employment-related topics, you can reach out to organizations within the InfoTET program, which provide free guidance and are listed in our guides.
These organizations are listed in the InfoTET guides, where you will find reliable information tailored to your situation as a Temporary Foreign Worker.
Through the program’s organizations and the resources provided by InfoTET Québec, you can:
- Learn about your rights and responsibilities as a temporary worker in Quebec
- Understand rules regarding work hours, breaks, vacation, and workplace safety
- Access guides and educational resources to answer questions about your job and work experience in the province
- Consult forms, procedures, and official links to get accurate and trustworthy information
Remember that InfoTET Québec is here to inform and guide you. Our guides contain all the necessary information to understand your work environment and available resources, helping you have a safer, more organized, and clearer experience as a Temporary Foreign Worker in Quebec.
