Immigration: Excellent news for businesses that will be able to significantly increase their international recruiting potential Français
MONTRÉAL, Aug. 16, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - Quebec entrepreneurs have finally received long-awaited news from the federal and provincial governments. The announced easing of certain immigration programs – Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP), International Mobility Program Plus (IMP+) – means that urgent labour needs can be filled more quickly.
This good news will stimulate the economic vitality of our regions. In fact, according to our AURAY Sourcing experts, a subsidiary of Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton, specializing in international recruitment and immigration, there is no doubt that these measures will ease the burden on Quebec entrepreneurs who work hard to offer their products and services and will allow foreign workers to integrate more quickly into the labour market.
However, filling the 146,865 vacant positions (June 2021) remains a short-term solution. Recruiting support has become more than essential for ensuring the development and growth of businesses across Quebec. To do this, the AURAY Sourcing team is working diligently to meet the many demands for international mobility in critical sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing and other impacted sectors.
"This is an excellent initiative by our government to address the labour shortage experienced by our Quebec companies. Many of our clients are delighted to hear this long-awaited news. Indeed, programs are currently very limited and these new measures will greatly facilitate the hiring of foreign workers in Quebec. We hope that a new list of simplified processing will also be published quickly to ease procedures in the sectors of the economy most affected by this shortage," said Wayne Tessier, General Manager of AURAY Sourcing.
Entrepreneurs must nevertheless be guided to fully carry out these measures.
Nathalie Boivin, Human Resources Manager, JLD-LAGUE John Deere Group and TransDiff Peterbilt division, said: "We are always very well guided by the AURAY Sourcing team, from international candidate recruiting and immigration processes, to housing for new international workers. The team of experts in place is thorough, reassuring and dedicated. We can truly say that the support of AURAY Sourcing plays a major role in our employees' and company's development."
Considering this new easing, what are the steps to be completed by entrepreneurs in order to start the foreign worker hiring procedures? From a legal point of view, how long will it take to reach this balance on the market?
