To hire a foreign national, you must go through one of several federal or provincial immigration programs.
- This section is intended to provide you with a quick overview of a variety of immigration programs. It covers your responsibilities as an employer or sponsor and provides background information on the responsibilities of the immigrant.
- It is important that you do further research into your responsibilities if you choose to support the immigration of an ITW to Canada through one of these immigration streams.
Hiring in Quebec
Quebec establishes its own immigration requirements and selects immigrants who will adapt well to living in Quebec. Employers should be aware that internationally trained workers who want to come to Canada as Quebec-selected skilled workers must first apply to the Quebec government for a certificate of selection (Certificat de sélection du Québec).
