Canadian firms told they can hire foreign workers without skills assessment

Job fair literature in France says companies in Canada can bypass skills, wage requirements

 

OTTAWA—An upcoming jobs fair in France is telling Canadian employers they can hire temporary foreign workers and bypass skills and wage requirements as the controversy surrounding the federal program rages on.

“Did you know … you can recruit francophone temporary foreign workers without an LMO?” reads the promotional material for the Working Abroad Newcomers Network exhibition being held in June in Lyon and Toulouse.

Canadian employers generally need a positive LMO—a labour market opinion—to bring in temporary foreign workers.

The LMO requires companies to explain why they want to hire a foreign worker instead of a Canadian.

Would-be French temporary foreign workers, however, can apply for the so-called francophone significant benefit.

That allows them to come to Canada without the need of an LMO to live and work outside of Quebec in managerial, professional, technical and skilled trades under specific occupation classifications.
