Getting a Job Offer validated by HRSDC
Every year, Canadian Employers hire over 150,000 temporary workers with specific skills, including live-in caregivers When the best skilled workers are willing to relocate, employers will always benefit! Government studies have shown that foreign skilled-workers contribute more economically to employers than a local employee as they are more motivated and driven to succeed. Employers who wish to hire temporary foreign workers must first apply to Service Canada for a Labour Market Opinion. The Labour Market Opinion (LMO) assesses the impact the foreign worker would have on Canada’s labour market or, in other words, how the offer of employment would likely affect Canadian jobs. Your Potential Employer will need a positive Labour Market Opinion to hire you as a temporary foreign worker. You fill need to obtain a positive Labour Market Opinion in order to apply to Citizenship and Immigration Canada for a work permit.
