The change in the Federal Immigration regulations has led to a rise in the number of points needed to qualify and be a successful immigrant to Canada. However, most applicants prefer jobs approved by Human Resource Development Canada (HRDC) or a work permit within the shortest duration.
Many methods of obtaining a temporary or permanent job offer in Canada for immigrants are pursued to add 10 points to their permanent visa application.
Although, most applicants are not aware of the significant difference between a temporary and a permanent work permit. So for them, here’s a complete brief:
Temporary Work Permit:
Every year, over 300,000 temporary foreign workers enter Canada.
The process would start with initiating a Canadian employer or a company in search of employees within Canada. If candidates with the required skill sets still need to be included, then the organization or the employer would look overseas for such candidates.
After identifying such an individual, the company could apply to the HRSDC (formerly known as HRDC) on behalf of the future employee of the company to get a Labour Market Opinion (LMO) about the job offer in Canada for foreigners.
When such an application is filed to the HRSDC, the government would consider the below-mentioned factors before concluding an apt decision about the approval of the temporary job offers in Canada for foreign nationals:
It should be an authentic/valid job offer.
Workers in the same occupation as Canadians should receive comparable wages and working conditions.
The employer must have made an effort to hire and train Canadians for the same job.
The foreign candidate is being considered to address the shortage of skilled workers in a particular field.
Hiring a foreign national could create new job opportunities or help keep existing jobs for Canadians.
Canadians will receive better training and development as they acquire new skills and knowledge by passing them on.
Hiring a foreign national’s essential to avoid creating a gap in the Canadian labor market.
If the above conditions are met, the Canadian company or the employer can hire a foreign national to work in his/her organization. If this application is approved, this is followed by the submission of a visa application form at a visa office outside Canada. If the candidate does not require a visa, the application could be made at the border or the port of entry.
Permanent Job Offer:
Similar to temporary, Canadian employers are now permitted to hire foreign nationals permanently unless the candidate joins work after being allotted an immigrant visa. This is according to the new immigration regulations brought out by the Canadian government.
It’s important to note that obtaining an immigrant visa takes significantly longer than obtaining a temporary work permit.
Hence, for a permanent job offer in Canada, the Canadian company or the employer must complete and submit a separate application form with the other necessary documents to the HRSDC to get an Arrangement Employment Opinion (AEO).
An AEO is granted on the following factors:
The job offer should be permanent and valid/authentic.
Employees in the same occupation as Canadians should receive comparable working conditions and compensation.
The offer should be full-time and not contractual.
The job offered should have an O, A, and B skill level on the NOC list.
The offer should not be from the Quebec province.
If your application gets approved, you’ll earn 10 bonus points for securing a job offer and 5 points for demonstrating adaptability. The employer must not prove a labor shortage to qualify for an AEO.
Though it is an easy process, most employers are not very keen to participate. Since it is highly time-consuming (it might take a few years in some cases) to obtain permanent immigration by a foreign national and to come, live and work in the country.
ICS is here to help!
The Canadian government has taken measures to overcome illegal measures of gaining such job offers by bringing about a strict licensing program for immigration consultants and a code of conduct for immigration lawyers. In addition to this, checks are carried out by the government regarding the background of the employers or the companies offering jobs. Inspired by such measures, illegal means continue to find their way into the lives of the innocent.
Many agents exploit expecting applicants based on these extra 15 points by making false promises, duping them of getting them a permanent job offer, and charging a considerable amount of money in return. In contrast, Immigration Canada Service (ICS) remains your one-stop destination as a trusted immigration service provider. You can expect complete transparency and regularity regarding your applications.
