Recruitment of specialized foreign workers in Quebec
international recruitment québec Did you know that there is a simplified process for hiring workers in 44 specialized professions?
The governments of Quebec and Canada have reached an agreement allowing Quebec employers to recruit specialized foreign workers more quickly for occupations where supply is deemed not to meet demand. An updated list of these occupations has been available since February 24, 2013. It includes 44 occupations, many of which are in the fields of engineering, health or IT. For example, we find professions such as IT service manager, executive assistant, civil engineer, mechanical engineer, medical specialist, registered nurse, nursing assistant, machinist or electromechanic.
If the job you are offering the foreign worker is on this list, you will not have to advertise the position and offer the job to Canadian citizens or permanent residents before you can hire your candidate. In addition, the process of obtaining a work permit will be much faster than if you had to go through the regular process. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or to share your experiences related to this topic.
