Description:
Program Summary: Employers with foreign candidates and temporary foreign workers (TFWs) applying for permanent residence will now need to obtain Labour Market Impart Assessments to support most of those permanent residence applications. There are two types of LMIAs that potentially support permanent residence applications: 1) temporary LMIAs to support work permits; and, 2) permanent LMIAs, required even for some applicants who would be LMIA-exempt for the purpose of a work permit. This webinar is for professionals with intermediate to advanced experience with LMIAs (formerly LMOs) and will identify new procedure and policy announced since December 01, 2014. You Will Learn: • Options for Foreign Workers to become Permanent Residents • Identify new and unpublished ESDC LMIA policies for temporary and permanent LMIAs • Identify when an LMIA is necessary to support a candidate or employee’s permanent residence application • Review Express Entry procedure • Identify risks in the LMIA process for employers. Who Should Attend: HR Professionals seeking to stay current on Canadian Immigration law and processes, or anyone involved in recruitment of foreign workers. This webinar is for professionals with intermediate to advanced experience with LMIAs (formerly LMOs).
