Canada Work Permit: Global Talent Stream

Sexta-feira, 10 Março 2017 by Colin R. Singer

Under the Global Talent Stream, skilled workers can expect their Canada work permits and Canada visa applications processed within two weeks. The program was launched on June 12, 2017, with Quebec unveiling its version of the program on September 11, 2017. GTS forms part of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.

The federal government wants to help high-growth companies bring in the talent they need quickly by cutting processing times for a Canada visa application from six months to just 10 business days.

A key element of the Global Talent Stream is that registered employers will need to commit to creating jobs for Canadians and transferring knowledge to Canadian workers, under a Labour Market Benefits Plan.

    Labour Market Benefits Plan

    A key requirement for GTS is the Labour Market Benefits Plan (LMBP).

    Developed with ESDC, it must show how hiring a foreign worker will help a company either create jobs for or transfer skills to Canadians. It also allows the ESDC to track a company’s progress.

    The LMBP features mandatory and complementary benefits.

    Under Category A, the mandatory benefit is creating jobs, whether directly or indirectly, for Canadian citizens and permanent residents.

    Under Category B, the mandatory benefit is to increasing skills and training investments for Canadians and permanent residents.

    The LMBP must also provide two complementary benefits, which cannot be the same as the mandatory benefit. These include, but are not limited to:

    • Job creation,
    • Investment in skills and training,
    • Transferring knowledge,
    • Enhanced company performance and
    • Implementing best practices or policies as an employer for your workforce.

    Global Talent Stream: General Requirements

    Business Legitimacy

    Employers must provide evidence they are actively engaged in the business needing the temporary worker. The business must provide a good or service related to the job offer.

    Employers new to TFWP must submit one document as proof. Returning employers are not required to re-submit documents, but may be asked for additional proof.

    Allowable documents include a Canadian business licence, legal incorporation forms, tax documents and attested documents. For a full list, click here.

    Recruitment

    Employers are encouraged to actively seek to hire Canadians and permanent residents before looking abroad for workers. A description of how this has been done will be requested.

    Wages

    Wages must match the prevailing amount paid to Canadians and permanent residents for the same position.

    Job Duties and Working Conditions

    Workers hired under TFWP must only do the job they were hired for. Foreign workers are covered by the same laws that protect Canadians and permanent residents. Exploitation of a foreign worker violates Canadian law.

    Provincial and territorial laws cover standards such as:

    • Hours of work (including overtime)
    • Compensation
    • Working conditions
    • Termination of employment

    Workplace Safety

    Foreign workers must be covered by provincial or territorial workplace safety insurance where required by law. Any private plan must match or better the terms of the provincial or territorial plan.

    Language Restriction

    A job can only require English or French when advertised. If other languages are essential, justification is required at the application stage.

    Unionized Positions

    For positions covered by a union, the foreign worker must be treated the same as Canadians and permanent residents also covered by that union, in terms of wages and terms and conditions.

    Employer Compliance

    Employers must comply with all general requirements of the TFWP.

    Employers in Quebec

    As of September 11, 2017, Quebec employers are able to take full advantage of the Global Talent Stream. The key difference is that Quebec employers must submit their application simultaneously to ESDC and the Quebec Ministry of Immigration, Diversity and Inclusion.
