In a world of nearly 6% unemployment rate in Canada, the government has set up multiple programs encouraging non-Canadians (not yet permanent residents) to be hired for roles that apparently Canadians cannot fill.
"Valid" entry into Canada is now ONLY WORTH "A valid job offer has to be full-time at 30 hours per week, and good for at least one year after the employee gets their permanent residency visa...". Permanent resident status allows for benefits say if not working after that one year. Impact on wages? On social programs?
"...Oftentimes, the first step to hiring an immigrant is to demonstrate to the federal government that there is no Canadian available to fill the open position.
To do this, you need [if required, there are many exemptions] a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). There is usually an advertising requirement for the LMIA, which means you have to post your job on the Government of Canada’s Job Bank and advertise in two other places..."
