Eight Practical Questions The purpose of this website is to help answer the eight key questions posed by every skilled worker immigrant applicant. Click on each question for more information regarding answers:
We are introducing our new newsletter type “Home Page” update for European tradespersons considering a new life in Canada.
Over the past few years, many European tradespersons believed that Canada was not particularly friendly to their visa applications. In turn, many Canadians wrongly believed that Europeans had lost interest in coming to Canada. It is fair to add that the Canadian government has heard the concerns. It is now up to committed workers and their representatives to get on with job and continue the tradition of successful European immigration to Canada.
We are encouraged with Canada’s renewed commitment to attract young, skilled tradespersons who wish to start a new life, especially in smaller communities in Western and Northern Canada.
Although we are Toronto based, Worker Canada accepts that Canada’s future, both economic and immigrant, lies outside of Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal. In recognition of this return to successful nation building efforts through productive immigration we are proud to join others in supporting the “Athabasca Project” , the goal of which is to greatly increase the immigration to Canada of skilled workers from Europe.
Worker Canada has taken up the challenge by focusing on attracting skilled European tradespersons to help build the Ontario economy in several crucial sectors including mining and construction.
Although Canada is one country with one basic immigration policy, each Canadian province has its own rules and traditions as to who is allowed to recruit workers and who pays the work permit and immigration visa related fees.
Ontario employers generally would rather deal directly with foreign tradespersons, along with their lawyers, and not recruiters. This policy may change in the future .Nevertheless, as an Ontario based company, Worker Canada recognizes the local tradition that prospective immigrant tradespersons find their own jobs and pay for their own visa related services. Legal advisers can assist in finding jobs but are encouraged not to charge a fee for job sourcing.
The job sourcing and payment process is dramatically different in Western Canada. The general rule in Western Canada is that when recruiters find jobs for foreign workers, employers pay a fee to the recruiter for this service and the worker does not pay the recruiter for finding him a job. Work permit related legal expenses may be paid by either the employer or the worker/prospective immigrant.
In recognition of both Ontario’s economic needs and our clients’ best interests, Worker Canada has established a range of new relationships, including:
1. A strategic referral relationship with Calgary, Alberta based employment agency, Euro Labour Infusion Ltd. www.eurolabour.ca .
Since 2007, Euro Labour Infusion has focused on the matching of European skilled workers with Western Canadian employers.
2. Mining Companies in Northern Ontario
3. Construction companies in Ontario
