Employer’s Roadmap to Help Hiring of Skilled Immigrants

The Canadian government has come up with a new tool kit to help local employers hire and retain foreign trained professionals.

The Employer’s Roadmap aims to help employers find qualified immigrants to fill their vacancies.

The Roadmap is full of links to resources that range from seeking the Labour Market Opinion, should they want to fire someone directly from abroad, to interpreting foreign credentials and experiences of immigrants.
It also gives tips to employers as to how to reach out to foreign trained professionals.

Studies have shown that while the education levels of Canada’s newcomer population has been increasing, the labour market integration has been slow if not in decline, and this has become not just a political and social issue, but one of economic as well because of the billions of dollars the country loses by forcing engineers and doctors to drive cabs.
And successive governments have taken a number of measures to alleviate this situation.
