This webinar will provide crucial Information and updates for HR Practitioners. 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 achieve their goals.

In addition to the already complex and ever-changing system as set out above, Canada has implemented a number of initiatives that HR should be aware of, including various streams for talent in the Tech sector, among others.

This webinar discusses the practical aspects of bringing/transferring foreign workers to Canada, as well as reviewing some of the stringent ongoing compliance requirements. Specific issues include:
     - LMIA considerations;
     - LMIA exemptions;
          > CUSMA and other international instruments;
          > Intra-Company Transfers;
          > Reciprocal Benefit;
          > Tech Talent Strategies;
     - Compliance;
     - and many other issues.

Within these topics are changes that can greatly impact a corporation’s immigration requirements – such issues include Global Talent Stream within the LMIA space, various treaties including CETA and the CPTPP, and changes to laws that impact inadmissibility.

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.
