Foreign Workers Recruitment

Hire Foreign Workers

As the Canadian economy continues to grow, many industries face skill shortages that make it challenging to meet their labor needs. Hiring foreign workers has become an effective solution to address these gaps and maintain competitiveness in today’s global economy.

At Top Nation Immigration Services, we are committed to helping Canadian employers navigate the complexities of hiring international talent, ensuring a seamless and efficient process from start to finish.

Why Hire Foreign Workers?

Hiring foreign workers is more than just a way to fill immediate labor shortages; it’s an investment in your company's future. By bringing in skilled workers from abroad, employers can access a broader talent pool, diversify their workforce, and foster innovation.

Foreign workers often bring unique skills, perspectives, and experiences that can help your business thrive in a competitive marketplace. Additionally, hiring foreign talent can help improve productivity, introduce new approaches, and enhance your business’s global competitiveness.

Trusted by Leading Companies

Proudly Supporting Top Canadian Employers

We have partnered with some of Canada’s most respected companies to fulfill their labor needs with international talent. Explore the trusted brands that have relied on our expertise to grow and thrive.

Understanding the LMIA Process

A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that Canadian employers may need before hiring a foreign worker. It serves as proof that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill a job position and that no Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available to do so. 

The LMIA process can be complicated and requires employers to demonstrate that they’ve made sufficient efforts to hire locally before turning to international talent.

At TopNation, we simplify the LMIA process for you. Our team helps prepare the necessary documentation, ensures compliance with government regulations, and submits the application on your behalf. 

From meeting advertising requirements to filling out forms and responding to queries from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), we make sure every aspect of your LMIA application is handled professionally and efficiently.

Hiring Through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP)

The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) allows Canadian employers to hire foreign nationals for positions that cannot be filled by the local workforce. This program is essential for sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, hospitality, and construction, where skill shortages are most prevalent. The TFWP requires employers to obtain a positive LMIA, showing that no Canadians are available for the position.

We assist employers in navigating the TFWP by ensuring compliance with all legal requirements, managing the LMIA application, and guiding you through the hiring process. Our team will work closely with you to find qualified candidates, whether you're looking for seasonal workers, skilled professionals, or other temporary labor solutions.

Hiring Through the International Mobility Program (IMP)

The International Mobility Program (IMP) offers a more flexible route for hiring foreign workers. Unlike the TFWP, the IMP allows employers to hire foreign workers without needing an LMIA, provided the hire benefits Canada economically, culturally, or socially. Examples of eligible workers include those under international agreements such as NAFTA (now CUSMA), Intra-Company Transfers, or individuals with special exemptions.

At TopNation, we help you determine if your position qualifies for the IMP, guiding you through the eligibility requirements and managing the process from start to finish. This program offers a quicker, more streamlined path to bringing foreign talent into your workforce, and we ensure that your business can take full advantage of these opportunities.

Employer Responsibilities

Find out the requirements needed to qualify for Canadian citizenship. This includes residency obligations, language proficiency, knowledge of Canadian values, and other criteria necessary to meet the standards for a successful application.

When hiring foreign workers, Canadian employers must meet certain responsibilities to ensure that both the worker and the employer remain compliant with immigration and labor laws. Failure to meet these responsibilities can result in penalties, including fines and bans from hiring foreign workers in the future.

Paying Competitive Wages
Employers must provide foreign workers with wages that meet or exceed the prevailing wage for the occupation.
Providing Adequate Benefits
Employers must ensure that foreign workers receive the same benefits as Canadian employees, including access to healthcare and paid time off.
Complying with Employment Standards
All labor practices, including hours of work and overtime, must comply with Canadian employment standards.
Record Keeping
Employers must maintain accurate records of the worker’s employment history and ensure they are available for inspection by authorities.
Maintaining Safe Work Conditions
Employers are required to ensure that the workplace is safe and that foreign workers have the same rights and protections as Canadian employees.
