Recruitment isn’t limited to overseas talent. Employers can also consider international students, open work permit holders, and newcomers already in Canada. This can reduce wait times and simplify onboarding while still addressing labour shortages.
Failure to follow immigration or employment laws can result in financial penalties or restrictions on future recruitment. Employers should maintain accurate documentation, offer fair wages, and ensure that working conditions meet Canadian standards.
International workers can help stabilize growth in industries like healthcare, construction, and technology. Many workers may transition from temporary permits to permanent residency, offering employers long-term stability in staffing.
Employers often underestimate the complexity of the process, from drafting job descriptions to managing cultural integration. Partnering with experts reduces errors and improves approval chances, ensuring smoother recruitment cycles.
Most international hires require a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) before applying for a work permit. However, certain programs such as the Global Talent Stream or Provincial Nominee Programs may provide faster or LMIA-exempt routes. Choosing the right pathway depends on the role, wage, and industry.
The National Occupational Classification (NOC) is the official system used by the Canadian government to classify jobs based on their duties and the type of work performed. Finding your correct NOC code is the first crucial step in the FSWP process. It determines whether your work experience is considered "skilled" and therefore eligible for Express Entry.
To find your NOC, you should not rely on your job title alone. Instead, use the official NOC website and search for your occupation. Read the "Main Duties" section of the job descriptions to find the one that best matches your responsibilities. This ensures you select the correct code, which is essential for the accuracy of your Express Entry profile.
Use the official Government of Canada tool to access the complete list of occupations and find the code that matches your work experience.
The LMIA process is often the first step in hiring a foreign worker. However, for certain positions, a work permit can be obtained without an LMIA, offering a different and often faster path.
Yes. Most immigration programs designed to attract skilled workers let you include your family in your application for permanent residency in Canada. This includes your spouse or common-law partner and dependent children. Additionally, Canada has separate programs where citizens and permanent residents can sponsor certain close relatives for immigration.
While there's no age limit to apply for economic immigration programs, your age will affect your score. These programs award points based on various factors like education, language skills, work experience, and even having a job lined up in Canada. People between 25 and 35 get the highest score for age, but don't worry! If you're outside this range, you can make up for it with strong points in other categories.
If you're an international student wanting to study in Canada, you'll need a study permit. To get one, you must first be accepted by a school approved by the Canadian government (called a designated learning institution). You'll also need to show you have enough money to cover your schooling, living costs, and even the ticket back home.
