If you are a Canadian employer in need of staffing or seeking international talent to drive your business forward, you've come to the right place. At NLP Immigration, we specialize in navigating the complexities of recruiting foreign workers, ensuring a smooth and efficient process for you.
Key Considerations When Hiring Foreign Workers:

It is essential to commit to providing the employee with a full-time contract, exceeding 30 hours per week,
along with a salary comparable to what is typically offered to a Canadian worker in the same position.
As a Canada-based company, we understand the intricacies of the Canadian labour market, including specific requirements in each province, such as those in Quebec. Our goal is to guide you seamlessly through the foreign workforce recruitment process, considering all provincial and federal requirements for a smooth transition for you and your future employees.
Here's an overview of the main steps involved in recruiting a foreign worker in Canada:
Step 1 : Navigating through administrative formalities.
Whether you need to obtain a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or draft a compelling job offer, our team of experts is here to guide you through the process, ensuring compliance with all legal requirements.
For employers in Quebec: It's important to note that if you are located in Quebec, you will need to simultaneously apply for a Quebec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ) from the Ministry of Immigration, Francization, and Integration along with the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
Step 2: Assisting with the Worker's Work Permit Application.
Once the LMIA/CAQ is approved, your candidate can proceed with the work permit application process. If accepted, your foreign worker can obtain a closed work permit, authorizing them to work in Canada only for your company, with a specified duration of employment and workplace.

At NLP Immigration, we guide future employees through their work permit application with IRCC (Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada), ensuring a smooth transition with necessary document preparation and ongoing support throughout the process.
Step 3: Informing the Worker of the Next Steps.
Communication is essential, and we keep both you and the worker informed of the next steps in the process, from the issuance of the work permit to entry into Canada.

By choosing to work with NLP Immigration, you're choosing a partner dedicated to your success, offering expertise, efficiency, and compliance in navigating Canadian immigration laws and procedures.
