The construction sector expects to see hundreds of thousands of new jobs open up in the next 10 years, but factors such as an aging workforce, ongoing effects of COVID and a lack of student awareness of opportunities in the trades mean that the industry may be short as many as 81,000 workers by 2030 (BuildForce Canada).
Studies have shown that immigration is one of the key answers to this shortage, but for many employers, the process for recruiting and employing a foreign worker seems complex and overwhelming.
Join ICBA for this 3-hour session with representatives from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program and Canada Border Services Agency to learn about a range of immigration pathways through which both temporary foreign workers and permanent residents can gain entry to Canada.
This session will cover:
What immigration pathways are available
What is involved
On the employee side
On the employer side
Application processes and timeframes
Arrival processes
At the border
What to do/not to do
In addition to informative presentations from our speakers, attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions prior to the session, and to ask questions in a live Q&A period.
