FOLLOWUP ON INTERNATIONAL RECRUITING WEBINAR POST
July 9, 2019
For anyone missed the international recruiting webinar from the Quadrant Marine Institute, here is a link to the PDF presentation and some highlights.
• IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) in partnership with other countries sponsors International job mobility programs.
• One focus of these programs is to bring skilled trades workers to fill vacancies in Canada.
• Free services to employers are: (page 7) job-matching banks for posting your vacancies, recruiting assistance at a local level in other countries, applicant filtering, and (page 23) expedited temporary work permits and permanent residency visas.
• Marine service workers applying to work in Canada under the Francophone Mobility program would be eligible under Skill Type B: Technical and Trade Occupations. Skilled trade applications are “C16 LMIA exempt”—see the step-by-step process (page 29 of the presentation).
• Employers need to create an online account in the government portal. Submitting a permanent job offer to an international applicant involves a $230 fee which is refundable if the application and visa process is not completed (page 27)
