Canadian Immigration laws are complex and ever-changing. Join us as we provide an overview of the most important changes announced in the last 18 months, as well as helpful information on long standing programs and how to use them to your company’s advantage.

Topics discussed during the update will include:

• Working without a work permit:  the 15/30 day exemption and how it works; intra-company trainers/trainees; after sales service.
• Biometrics for Temporary Residents.
• Compliance:  Filing out an Offer of Employment Form or LMIA with an eye to a potential inspection.
• Express Entry: understanding what work experience counts towards CRS points score; understanding the process from the preliminary stage (language exam/ECA) to being landed
• Current timelines and advice on when to begin application preparation.
