Government Announces New Stream For Foreign Workers To Immigrate To Canada

With the demands on Canada's labour market increasing, Canadian employers are frequently turning to the foreign labour pool to find experienced and qualified candidates to take up positions in Canada. While there can be challenges in obtaining an initial work permit for a foreign worker, it is often more difficult to keep a foreign worker in Canada as work permits cannot be renewed indefinitely. Unless the employee plays out a scene from the movie "Green Card" (which is not recommended) or legitimately marries a Canadian, the employee may struggle to obtain permanent residence in Canada before the expiry of a work permit. As a result, the employer loses the investment it made in training and developing the employee.
