Every year, businesses conduct cross-border commerce activities
and experience labour and skill shortages. Canadian businesses
recruit and relocate skilled workers abroad to fill contracts and
business needs, and international companies send employees to
Canada on their behalf to engage in international business
activities.
It is critical for Canadian employers to know their options for
bringing foreign talent to Canada and to have an immigration
strategy from the outset to avoid delays or refusals of their
workers entering Canada, which impacts business operations,
contracts and profits.
Setting out an immigration plan is a key step in achieving
business needs and to ensure that no time or cost is wasted because
a project or office could not be properly staffed due to
immigration hurdles or delays.
