Why Train Your Team in Immigration?

Canada’s immigration framework is intricate and ever-evolving. Regulations differ not only across provinces but also according to each foreign national’s country of origin. Targeted training enables your team to:

• Understand both provincial (e.g., Quebec’s MIFI) and federal (IRCC) legal frameworks;
• Stay up to date with legislative and regulatory changes;
• Prevent costly errors in LMIA, work permit, or permanent residence applications that could cause refusals, recruitment delays, or lengthy processing times.

Key Update:

Since fall 2024, several significant policy changes have taken effect, including:

• Suspension of the Temporary Foreign Workers stream under Quebec’s Experience Program (PEQ) — effective June 5, 2025;
• Refusal to process LMIAs for low-wage positions in regions where unemployment exceeds 6%;
• Increased median wage thresholds for LMIA applications;
• Stricter eligibility requirements for open work permits for spouses (effective January 21, 2025).

These developments highlight how crucial it is for employers to remain informed and act proactively.

Strengthening International Recruitment Efficiency

A trained HR team is beer equipped to:

• Identify the most suitable immigration programs for targeted candidate profiles;
• Plan required steps in advance;
• Support foreign recruits in their professional transition and social integration.
