Description:

Welcome to the centennial episode of the Canadian Immigration Podcast! I can't believe that we've released 100 episodes since July 2014 and reached this new milestone.

This is also an inaugural intro episode to our Business Immigration 10-episode series of the Podcast where I and Alicia Backman-Beharry, Canadian Immigration Lawyer at Holthe Immigration Law discuss the realities of Canadian business immigration, LMIAs, and share the valuable insights that employers should be aware of when hiring a foreign worker in Canada.

In this episode you will learn:

  1. As an employer, where do you start if you want to hire a foreign worker?
  2. What is the difference between TFWP and IMP?
  3. Do you even need to apply for LMIA and does your employee need a Work Permit?
  4. What activities qualify as work for the purposes of immigration?
  5. Why you have to be strategic and think long-term when you consider hiring a foreign worker?
  6. What are the negative consequences for not complying with the requirement of obtaining a Work Permit?

In the next episode you'll learn more about Work Permit exemptions (Public Policy short-term exemptions, Free Trade Agreements, such as CUSMA (USMCA), Emergency Service Providers exemptions, etc.)
