How to Hire a Temporary Foreign Worker
Each year, employers from many types of businesses recruit foreign workers with a wide range of skills to meet temporary labour shortages.
Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) and Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) work to ensure that the employment of foreign workers supports overall economic growth. This helps create more opportunities for all Canadians.
