Canada is facing a shortage of Skilled Workers

Canada is set to welcome more than 1 million new immigrants over the next three years, with an annual intake that could reach as high as 390,000 in 2022.

Despite fears of a global recession due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is agreed across the board that high immigration intake is justified with more than 9 million Canadians reaching retirement age in the next decade.

According to the plan, Canada will bring in about 341,000 newcomers this year, 351,000 in 2021, and 361,000 in 2022. Canada has made available more than 60 different programs, the majority of the immigrants will come under either the Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Program, or other pilot projects which make up about 58 percent of the intake; followed by those sponsored by Canadians as spouses which are 26 percent; with the remaining 16 percent as refugees or on humanitarian grounds.

VISAS

Express Entry

Federal Skilled Workers are persons with suitable education, work experience, age, and language abilities under one of Canada’s official languages and are selected under the Express Entry Immigration system to apply for permanent residence.

What Is Express Entry? In January 2015, the Canadian government launched a new electronic immigration system that offers express entry to Canada for skilled and qualified immigrants. The new Express Entry program will manage applications for permanent residence for immigrants who can fill jobs where there is a lack of available skilled Canadian workers.

Thousands Receive Permanent Residence in Canada Annually

The Canadian government has recognized the fact that Canada requires new immigrants to meet future labour market needs and to help ensure the country’s long-term economic growth and prosperity. The new system will allow Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to proactively assess, recruit and select immigrants who are skilled and/or possessed the relevant qualifications under federal economic immigration programs:

Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
The Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

The Express Entry program will also allow individual provinces and territories to use the system in order to recruit suitable candidates as part of the Provincial Nominee Programs so that labour market demands are met. Employers will play a key part in selecting economic immigrants, and will be able to access suitable candidates via Canada’s recently improved Job Bank, as well as the relevant provinces and territories where applicable.

How Express Entry Works:

Step 1: Applicant are being assessed based on skilled worker point system

Applications who scored at least 67 points are qualified to join the pool of candidates. CIC will award points based on the following factors:

Skills in English and/or French
Education
Work experience
Age
Presence/absence of a valid job offer, and
Relatives in Canada

Step 2: Potential candidates fill out an online Express Entry form.

Candidates who are eligible for the Express Entry Canada program can complete an online profile which will include various details about themselves, including their age, language ability, education and previous work experience, among others. These individuals will be ranked according to their chances of economic success, and they are divided to Three main groups:

Top ranking candidates, what we call the Golden profiles who scored 460-1200 points and represent 10% of the candidates in the current pool, these candidates are divided into 2 sub-groups:
Temporary Foreign Workers and Students who already live in Canada. These candidates acquired Canadian work experience and/or education which boost up their score, that, in addition to their professional and personal profile acquired back home.
Candidates who never been to Canada, and their score is based only on their professional and personal profile.
Top ranking candidates, what we call the Silver Profiles who scored 350-460 points and represent 70% of the candidates in the current pool, these candidates are:
Highly educated, experienced and in most of the cases native English speakers.
Committed to job search in Canada and understand a qualified job offer from a Canadian employer maximize their chances to move to Canada. These candidates will automatically receive high rankings
The Canadian Government consider these candidates to be skilled, qualified and talented candidates, however, to be able to become golden profile, and as a result of that be invited to become permanent resident of Canada, they will have to take some further steps to optimize their profiles. Qualified job offer is one of the options, other may be going to school in Canada.

This ranking system allow Canada to pick the best possible candidates who are likely to go on to adapt in Canada and achieve success, rather than simply picking whoever is next in line. Candidates, who at the moment of joining the pool of Candidates, do not have a valid job offer or provincial/territorial nomination must sign up to the Government’s of Canada’s Job Bank, so that he or she can be matched to relevant Canadian employers. Eligible employers who would like to hire of the silver candidates will need to obtain a Labour Market Impact Assessment via Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) for permanent residence applications. There is no guarantee that candidates who submitted their profile to the Express Entry profile will be invited to apply for permanent residence, as this will mainly be determined by their ranking and offer of employment or provincial/territorial nomination.

List of Candidates in the Pool

Our mission is to serve and help over 100,000 qualified and talented silver candidates who are already in the pool of skilled candidates and scored 350-460 points. Help them to kick start their job search in Canada, to support them in the process of getting a qualified job offer that will boost up their CRS score, and may allow them to come to Canada on a Permanent or Temporary permit.

Step 3: The Government will invite successful candidates and permanent residency will be processed within 6 months.

Those ranking highly in the pool (based on skills, experience, eligible job offers and relevant nominations where applicable) will then be invited to apply for permanent residency through an ITA (Invitation to Apply), and will have a total of 60 days to submit their electronic application. Electronic applications will be required to be submitted through one of the below programs: Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) Canadian Experience Class (CEC) Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) Most applications will be pushed through swiftly by CIC, with many expected to be completed within six months. Candidates who have applied for the Express Entry Canada program but who are not invited to apply for permanent residency after a year may then resubmit their profile and re-enter the pool, provided they are still eligible for the program. This is to prevent backlogs and allow for quicker processing and turnaround times. According to CIC, the Express Entry program will allow faster and more efficient immigration services to skilled immigrants. The program will also enable the Canadian Government to respond faster to Canada’s evolving economic conditions and changing priorities, and will increase flexibility.

LMIA

In the vast majority of the cases, a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is required before a Canadian employer can hire a temporary foreign worker.

Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)

In the vast majority of the cases, a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is required before a Canadian employer can hire a temporary foreign worker. An LMIA is a form of labour market verification process designed to protect Canada’s domestic job marketplace, as well as protect foreign workers employed in Canada temporarily. Foreign workers who are able to secure a job in Canada get an immediate boost of 50-200 points to their Permanent Residency application, and after one year of work for the Canadian employer chances to be issued with permanent status is Canada significantly increase. Generally, an LMIA leads to a Temporary Work Permit of at least one year, for skilled positions the accompanied partner is issued with an Open Work Permit and dependent children under 18 are able to attend public school.

Assessing the Merits of an LMIA Application

Obtaining a Canada work permit is typically a two-step process. First, the Canadian employer must submit a qualifying LMIA application to Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). It is incumbent on the Canadian employer to also submit a detailed list of Canadians who applied for the position; the number of Canadians interviewed for the position, and detailed explanations for why the Canadian candidates considered were not hired. Canadian employers may be subject to inspection for compliance once a work permit has been issued. When assessing the merits of the applicant the minister of labour known as ESDC will consider:

Are there Canadians in the region available and willing to fill the job on offer?
Has the employer made sufficient efforts to fill the position with a Canadian worker?
Will hiring a foreign national help create or retain jobs in Canada?
Is the employer offering a wage or salary that is consistent with the regional average for the position at hand?
Are the working conditions acceptable by Canadian labour standards?
Is the employer or the industry in which the job sits engaged in ongoing labour disputes?

If ESDC is satisfied the employer is healthy enough to sustain foreign labour and exhausted all available resources to recruit locally, a positive LMIA will be issued. LMIAs are specific to employers, the position being offered, and the region in which the job is located. Obtaining a positive LMIA does not allow you to change your job or employer, or move to another Canadian region after acquiring a work permit. In any of those instances you are required to seek a new LMIA. The LMIA process distinguishes between “high-wage” and “low-wage” employees. Temporary foreign workers whose remuneration is below the provincial/territorial median wage are considered low-wage. Temporary foreign workers whose remuneration is equal to or above the median wage are considered high-wage.

Median Hourly Wages by Province/Territory

Province/Territor	Wage ($/hr)
Alberta	$25.00
British Columbia	$22.00
Manitoba	$19.50
New Brunswick	$18.00
Newfoundland and Labrador	$21.12
Northwest Territories	$30.00
Nova Scotia	$18.85
Nunavut	$29.00
Ontario	$21.15
Prince Edward Island	$17.49
Quebec	$20.00
Saskatchewan	$22.00
Yukon	$27.50

High-Wage Workers

The submission of a transition plan is a compulsory requirement for all Canadian employers seeking to employ a temporary foreign worker(s) at a wage that is equal to or above the provincial/territorial median hourly wage. Transition plans exist to ensure the employer intends to reduce their reliance on temporary foreign workers in favour of Canadians.

Low-Wage Workers

Canadian employers looking to hire low-wage workers do not need to submit a transition plan when applying for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). Unlike high-wage workers, however, they are subject to a cap that limits the number of low-wage temporary foreign workers a given business can employ. Canadian employers with more than 10 employees will be restricted to a maximum 10% cap on low-wage temporary foreign workers. This cap will be phased in over the next two years, to allow Canadian employers time to transition to a Canadian workforce.

LMIA Processing Times

LMIA processing times can be somewhat unpredictable, ranging from a couple of weeks, to a few months. Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) has pledged to process certain LMIA applications within 10 business days. The following categories will now be processed with a 10-business-day service standard:

All LMIA applications for the highest-demand occupations (skilled trades), or
Highest-paid (top 10%) occupations, or
Short-duration work periods (120 days or less).

LMIA Fees and Additional Employer Requirements

A processing fee of CDN $1,000 applies to each Labour Market Impact Assessment application, unless the application is made strictly in support of permanent residency.
Canadian employers must undertake advertisement efforts (Canada Job Bank) for at least four weeks prior to submitting an LMIA application. Employers are further required to demonstrate at least two other recruitment methods used to target potential hires, other than the Canada Job Bank website. ESDC will also be looking for evidence that underrepresented groups of Canadians were pursued and considered for the position (e.g. disabled people, aboriginals, youth).
English and French are the only two languages eligible to be listed as employment requisites, for the purpose of LMIA application. ESDC officers are largely hesitant to approve an LMIA application if the employer has indicated a language other than English or French was used as a determinant.
Canadian employers must attest that they are prohibited from laying off, or reducing the hours, of Canadians if their company employs temporary foreign workers.
