Notwithstanding all the various opinions as to the best way to resolve our shortage of workers, immigration is universally recognized as being essential to address Canada’s immediate and long term labour force needs. For employers seeking to resolve their labour shortages, it is becoming essential to navigate Canada's immigration programs in order to keep your workforce strong and your business thriving. Here's what you can do to master the immigration game!]]> https://testing.canadian-visa-lawyer.com/employer-roadblocks-for-hiring-foreign-workers-continue/ Tue, 10 Mar 2015 19:00:43 +0000 https://testing.canadian-visa-lawyer.com/?p=1057 Minister of Immigration, Chris Alexander, continues to make the hiring of foreign workers difficult for Canadian employers. On February 21, 2015 Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) introduced new rules that require employers hiring foreign nationals under the International Mobility Programs, such as intra-company transferees and international experience class workers, to complete a new form and pay a $230 fee per worker as part of a new employer compliance program.]]> https://testing.canadian-visa-lawyer.com/immigration-minister-alexander-tables-annual-report-economic-immigration-levels-continue-to-rise/ Mon, 04 Nov 2013 18:35:04 +0000 https://testing.canadian-visa-lawyer.com/?p=795 Last week Canada's Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Chris Alexander tabled his Annual Report to Parliament presenting an immigration action plan that will continue to maintain an overall high level of immigration with an increased focus on economic immigration.

Two key components of the economic immigration program, the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) and the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), are slated to achieve their highest levels of admissions ever.

The government reacted by dramatically modifying its foreign worker program and making it tougher for employers to bring in foreign workers to Canada. ]]>
