- October Event Sold Out -

Following the overwhelming success of our October event,
as you requested, we are bringing our event back
on February 28-29, 2012, in Calgary.

Western Canada is gearing up for an economic recovery and stalled and new projects are already underway. With inevitable labour shortages, many companies, across the spectrum of industry, are beginning to look overseas and south of the border to fill them. To avoid costly disruptions and inefficiencies, companies need to start planning their foreign workforce now. This includes being on top of issues such as regulatory changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, compliance strategies, and ways to ensure retention.

The Canadian Institute’s Legal and Human Resource Guide to Employing Foreign Workers brings together leading immigration lawyers, human resources professionals and representatives from key government agencies, to take you seamlessly through the process of employing foreign workers. From the initial decision of who to hire and from where, through tips on how to obtain a positive labour market opinion and avoiding the new Citizenship and Immigration Canada non-compliance list, right through to making the most of your investment by retaining your foreign talent long term, you will receive all of the information you need, and so much more.

Gain critical tools and strategies to help you:

  • overcome emerging difficulties from the latest regulatory changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program
  • understand what is considered by HRSDC to be compliant/non compliant, and the consequences of non-compliance
  • develop a successful corporate compliance strategy
  • deal with issues arising at the port of entry
  • overcome the “Specialized knowledge” hurdle
  • ensure the successful integration and retention of foreign workers
  • overcome criminal inadmissibility challenges

Plus! Add value to your attendance by participating in our hands-on post-event workshop on mastering the new LMO applications, work permit applications and Provincial Nominee Program documentation
