Canada Immigration Visas

In today’s skypecast Eric talks about categories of Canadian work permits, the implications of NAFTA for the movement of professionals within North America, the need for a labour market opinion and the regional lists of occupations under pressure.

Employers looking to apply a prospective employee on a temporary work permit need to obtain a labour market opinion meeting the following requirements:

• that the job is genuine
• that the position is unable to be filled by Canadians and proof of recruitment attempts must be shown
• wages and working conditions are comparable to those offered to Canadians working in the same occupation
• Labour market benefits eg. that the hiring of the foreign worker will transfer skills and knowledge to Canadians, or the employment of the foreign worker will create job opportunities or help retain jobs for Canadians
• the employment of a foreign national will not vaffect a labour dispute or the employment of a Canadian involved in a dispute

The provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario have agreements with the national government to ease the entry of certain temporary foreign workers in occupations under pressure.For anyone looking for a job in Canada we recommend having a look through Canada’s biggest job site Workopolis and also Monster.ca.

Canada Immigration Visas can help both foreign nationals applying for a Temporary Work Permit and employers looking to employ foreign nationals.
