Employer Immigration Services
Immigration Services for Canadian Employers
​
Finding and retaining qualified employees has become one of the biggest challenges facing Canadian businesses. Whether you are hiring a foreign national for the first time or supporting an existing international workforce, Canadian immigration requirements can be complex, time-sensitive, and costly if handled incorrectly.
​
GLG Immigration Consulting Services works directly with employers to provide practical immigration advice and representation while helping businesses comply with the requirements of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), and provincial immigration programs. We can assist employers in determining whether a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is required, identifying available LMIA exemptions, preparing work permit applications, and understanding their ongoing employer compliance obligations.
​
From assessing immigration options to supporting work permits and permanent residence pathways, we provide practical guidance to help employers navigate Canada’s immigration system with confidence.
​
Temporary Foreign Worker Program
​
The Temporary Foreign Worker Program allows Canadian employers to hire foreign nationals when qualified Canadians or permanent residents are not available. Most positions under this program require a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) before the foreign worker can apply for an employer-specific work permit.
