Advice for Canadian companies seeking to hire foreign workers to fill skills and labour shortages for their business.

When the domestic labor supply in Canada is not sufficiently trained, experienced, or located appropriately to meet the labour requirements of employers in certain industry segments or segments, Canadian employers must look to hire foreign talent to fill these vacancies. Sometimes, Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada can regulate the entrance of a foreign worker to the Canadian labor market through the restricted International Freedom Program.

However, most employers and foreign workers do not meet the limited scope of the International Mobility Program and must utilize the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) when they are working to hire foreign talent for long-term positions. The TFWP is regulated and managed by Service Canada, concurrently known as ESDC (Employment and Social Development Canada).

From the CIVS employment department, we assist Canadian companies from all industries browse the intricacies of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program to recruit and hire skilled foreign workers to fill labor shortages within their organization. We let you focus on your business while we find the ability and finish the paperwork. We've got expansive foreign networks to recruit foreign talent and have qualified workers on standby, seeking the ideal company, occupation, and chance.

What is the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) and do I want an LMIA?
The aims of the program created by Service Canada in relation to Canada's immigration policy using IRCC, would be to enable employers to access foreign workers and overseas talent when they can't locate the labour domestically with Canadians/PRs.

It is a review of an employer's program to hire a foreign employee performed by Service Canada to ensure that the employer seeking to hire a foreign employee has made a genuine job offer and that the employment of the foreign worker will not negatively affect the Canadian labor market.

If a favorable LMIA is issued by Service Canada for your company, then the overseas worker may apply for a work permit.

Why is an LMIA Required?

Canada requires an LMIA to make sure that the job offer by the employer is real and hiring the foreign worker is not going to have a negative effect on the Canadian labor market. It's to protect Canadian jobs and to ensure that Canadians/PRs have the chance to fill vacant positions first.

In plain English, it's a method to prevent labour fraud for immigration purposes while ensuring that foreign workers are not"stealing jobs" out of Canadians/PRs.
