Securing Skilled International Workers

Posted by Steve Thomas on Monday, September 17, 2018

The current competitive landscape for recruiting and retaining talent in Canada is forcing employers to get creative, and hiring international talent is becoming a popular solution. Many Canadian employers are considering hiring international workers, while others have already hired employees from outside Canada but are not sure how to keep the employee long-term. 

Why Use Specialist Help?

Immigration compliance is a serious matter — the government conducts audits and spot checks on all employers using the program. Non-compliance can result in significant penalties for the business and the individual employees, which include suspension from the program, monetary fines, and imprisonment.

That’s why it’s important to get expert advice from qualified professionals, such as those at BDO Immigration Services. They will not only advise on the most efficient foreign worker programs to facilitate hiring international talent, but will also ensure employers are compliant, and effectively planning for your long-term staffing needs.
