Immigration - FOREIGN SKILLED WORKER

Immigration - FOREIGN SKILLED WORKER

Every year, over 175,000 (182,276 in 2010) foreign workers enter Canada to work temporarily in jobs that help Canadian employers address skill shortages, or as live-in caregivers.
Skilled workers are in abundance outside of Canada. At Universal Immigration, one of our flagship projects is bridging the gap of the requirement of Skilled Foreign Worker being faced by companies across Canada. We customize the solution for the companies, from selection to landing of the foreign worker.
There are many intricate points which have to be considered before employer applies for a Temporary work permit. As professionals, we represent application with the HRSDC and also identify the foreign worker so that employer can save their time and money in this lengthy process. Upon final selection by employer, we apply for LMO (Labour Market Opinion) and the Work Permit. Our focus in this effort is to give employer and his organization a cost effective solution of labour needs.

The ongoing Global Skills Shortage, international competition for skilled workers and a fluctuating economy mea
Canada’s most proactive and astute employers are looking to innovative international recruitment strategies to drive their businesses. A recent Price Waterhouse Coopers survey found more than 60 percent of companies believe a shortage of qualified workers is slowing their growth. As the B.C. Ministry of Economic Development reports, well over $100 billion worth of new infrastructure projects are planned or are underway in British Columbia. But many are delayed due to a lack of workers.
We’re facing a significant shortage of workers across the country. Labour shortages in the West are occurring alongside unemployment challenges in the East. For example, within the next decade, Alberta faces a potential shortfall of 100,000 workers. Estimates are that British Columbia will be short 350,000 workers and that Ontario will face a shortage of 560,000 workers by 2030. Our economy is very strong…and very hungry. But as we face these shortfalls, we have to ask the question – who is going to be doing all the work? Our challenge yesterday was finding enough jobs for people. But today it’s different.
Today it is about finding enough skilled people for the jobs. In the next couple of years, as the Baby Boomers are retiring the Canadian labour force will be losing a large volume of workers. At the same time, the demand for skilled workers will continue to rise rapidly and various projections show Canada's education and training systems will have a hard time keeping up. With those factors combined, high unemployment and large labour shortages are at a high possibility. If Canada is going to keep up with the changing needs it's facing, we are going to have to continue to address our skilled worker needs and keep an open mind to Foreign Trained Skilled Workers.

The requirements and processing times depend on the sort of work you will do when you come to Canada. Remember, even if you do not need a work permit, you may need to meet other requirements. Read the information carefully.
• Your employer helps determine if you are eligible. Your employer may need to get a labour market opinion from Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC).
• A work permit is not an immigration document. It does not allow you to live in Canada permanently. To live here permanently, you must qualify under an immigration category, such as skilled worker. Live-in caregivers can stay in Canada permanently if they meet certain requirements.
• If you want your spouse or common-law partner and your dependent children to come with you to Canada, they must apply to do so.

You may not need a work permit if you fall into one of the following categories:
• Athletes and coaches
• Aviation accident or incident investigators
• Business visitors
• Civil aviation inspectors
• Clergy
• Convention organizers
• Crew members
• Emergency service providers
• Examiners and evaluators
• Expert witnesses or investigators
• Family members of foreign representatives
• Foreign government officers
• Foreign representatives
• Health-care students
• Judges, referees and similar officials
