The Food Processing Human Resources Council (FPHRC) is a not-for profit skills council that delivers human resource information, training and tools. Canada’s food and beverage industry is facing a labour shortage and over the next 3 years, they will need to hire a minimum of 23,000 workers. It is challenging to recruit and retain qualified food processing personnel, entry level and skilled workers.
To address this shortage the FPHRC has developed the world’s FIRST food safety training program for approved permanent residence or pre-arrival immigrants seeking opportunities in Canada’s food and beverage processing industry. The Pre-Arrival Food Safety Management Training (PAFSMT) Program will provide them free of charge with food safety related and employment training, a value over $5,000, in an online, innovative, engaging and self-paced learning environment.
There are many barriers for newcomers to Canada and many have a difficult time finding work. Canadian employers may not know how to assess their credentials, or may find their language and skills insufficient. However, immigrants are a substantial portion, 27%, of the Canadian food and beverage processing workforce. The FPHRC is in a
unique position to provide food safety related and employment training through the PAFSMT program which will expedite the transition of new immigrants to employment opportunities within the industry.
The program has 21 courses, divided into 3 progressive levels. Upon completion of the program participants will leave their home country with 5 Canadian employment and food safety related certificates for the Introductory Level and an additional 7 certificates for the Advanced level. This means new immigrants will arrive in Canada with valuable skills, creating a pool of potential workers saving Canadian employers recruitment and training costs.
LEVEL 1
Working in Canada
Skills
The first level of the program introduces the terminology used in the food manufacturing industry and addresses integration into the Canadian workforce.
Cultural behaviours and diversity in the workplace are also key topics, contributing towards general employability and everyday life skills.

LEVEL 2
Basic Food Safety Skills
The second level of the curriculum incorporates ‘entry level’ topics and expands on the concepts learned in the first level. Before working in a food plant, workers would typically receive training on beginner food safety topics such as sanitation, food spoilage, and an awareness of allergens.
Given the workplace environment, knowledge of industrial safety practices are also very important. Level 2 covers all the essential industry- specific topics required for immediate employment in an entry level position.
LEVEL 3
Technical Food
Safety Skills
The third and final level of the curriculum is more advanced, covering more complex subject areas – this level is ideal for management type positions.
Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of food safety principles and their overall impact on the food safety management system. Courses delve into auditing practices & procedures and the food manufacturing governing rules and regulations in Canada.
Participants who have an education in engineering, sciences or business or at minimum a degree from a university or college will benefit from this level.

Millions of consumers with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are looking for an easy and trusted way top identify gluten-free foods. Manufacturers worldwide are looking for a third-party endorsement to signal their commitment to gluten-free food safety. The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) and Canadian Celiac Association (CCA) endorsed Gluten-Free Certification Program (GFCP) is the solution.
The GFCP is a voluntary certification program designed to differentiate trusted gluten-free products from the increasing clutter of gluten-free claims in the market place by displaying the NFCA and CCA certification trademarks. Based on an annual robust third-party audit certification process at the manufacturing facility, the GFCP verifies the facilities internal management systems have the ability to consistently meet stringent requirements, when managing gluten in combination with their food safety programs.
A North American Solution – One World, One Standard
The GFCP was developed for the Canadian Celiac Association and launched in May 2011. It has been successfully certifying facilities and protecting gluten-free consumers in Canada since May 2012. By partnering with the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness, the GFCP extends its reach across borders and enables consumers to easily identify safe, reliable, gluten-free products in both the US and Canada through a single facility management system certification process.
Regulations on Gluten-Free Labeling
On August 5, 2014, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), like Health Canada before them, adopted the International Food Standards by Codex Alimentarius for defining a gluten-free claim and mandated that food must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten in order to bear a “gluten-free” claim on the label.
The Gluten-Free Certification Program (GFCP) offers consumers protection and guidance to ensure the products carrying the NFCA and CCA certification trademarks are the result of good manufacturing practices and strict gluten-free protocols.
