To fill up shortages of skilled labor force Canadian employers can recruit foreign skilled workers under various categories including permanent workers under the Express Entry system, temporary workers on a Work Permit, or by offering the job to international students who are on a Student Visa or are fresh graduates. Foreign workers not only fill up labor force shortages but also contribute to the Canadian economy and transfer new skills and knowledge to Canadian workers. The Canadian employer who wishes to hire an internationally trained worker must apply for a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) formerly known as Labor Market Opinion (LMO) to Service Canada before the worker can apply for a work permit. Service Canada conducts intensive research to determine how the international worker might affect the existing job market and if their working conditions and wages are comparable to those of their Canadian counterparts. At Nanda & Associate Lawyers we assist you at every step of recruiting an internationally trained worker.
