Temporary Foreign Workers

Hiring overseas workers for your small or medium sized business could be your next great move!

Requirements

- You must have a business that is legally registered in Canada.

- Your business must pay taxes and have a registered Business Number with CCRA.

- You must demonstrate that you have attempted to hire and retain local workers before you decided to hire overseas labour. We will help you do this.

Pros

- Drastically reduce employee turn over.

- Keep wage and training expenses under control.

- You assist your overseas labour to find a place to live. This is great as you can have them live close to your business location. Reducing travel time and expenses for your employees will keep your employees happy.

- Overseas workers are happy to work in positions where local staff may not be happy with.

- We will assist you in processing all the paperwork needed to bring your TFW to Canada.

Cons

- Employers must pay the one-way airfare to Canada for each employee. This is tax deductable as a business expense.

- You must be able to wait 3 to 4 months for your TFW to arrive.
