Employers often need foreign talent, whether from their own foreign affiliates, or from outside their organization. Further, the Canadian immigration system has undergone, and continues to undergo, significant changes over time, which HR personnel need to be aware of in order to effectively navigate the obstacles faced, and opportunities available, in achieving their goals.
In addition to the already complex and ever-changing system as set out above, Canada has recently created a number of new initiatives that HR should be aware of, including various streams for talent in the Tech sector, among others.
This seminar discusses the practical aspects of bringing/transferring foreign workers to Canada, as well as stringent ongoing compliance requirements. Specific issues include:
- LMIA considerations;
- LMIA exemptions;
- CUSMA and other international instruments;
- Intra-Company Transfers;
- Reciprocal Benefit;
- Tech Talent Strategies (New!);
- Compliance;
- and many other substantive issues.
Within these topics are changes that can greatly impact a corporation’s immigration requirements – such issues include the Global Talent Stream within the LMIA space, new treaties including CETA, CUKTCA, and CPTPP, and changes to laws that will impact compliance.
Attendees will leave with an understanding of the ‘big picture’ flow of the immigration system, as well as an understanding of the nuanced issues within the system that can make or break an application – along with strategies on how to overcome the obstacles.
This program will be of value to HR professionals at all levels, and will provide attendees with the tools they need to ensure that their organization can meet its ongoing immigration needs.
