Date: May 17, 2017

Speaker: Benjamin Kranc, Certified by the Law Society of Upper Canada as a Specialist in Immigration Law

Perhaps it’s because politics down South have driven your foreign workers to look into relocation, or your organization is looking to bring some foreign talent into the Canadian office. Whatever the reason, getting work permits can be challenging and slow to acquire, and once acquired compliance with the permit can cause trouble.

This is the second in a two-part webinar series about getting foreign workers to Canada. The first session focused on getting foreign workers to Canada; the second will focus on (ever-stricter) ongoing compliance requirements.

Specific topics will include :

  • The Work Permit System Summarized (LMIAs, LMIA exempt work permits, work permit exempt work permits);
  • Corporate Obligations at Time of Seeking Work Permit (employer compliance filing, HR advice for LMIAs, misrepresentation, and more);
  • Ongoing Obligations (transition plans, meeting the terms of LMIA, record keeping and due diligence regarding re-authorization to work), and;
  • Audits (what you need to have)
