We look forward to having employers join an information session in St. John’s, NL hosted by both Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and Newfoundland and Labrador’s Department of Immigration, Population Growth, and Skills (NL IPGS). Additionally, we will be joined by the Association of New Canadian’s who will provide information on their settlement services.

This in-person event is graciously hosted by and is in partnership with the City of St. John’s. Topics covered in this information session will include:

How to hire temporary foreign workers and the work permit process.

How to hire international students and how to retain them after they graduate.

Resources to help you find skilled workers faster.

Permanent residence pathways available to allow workers stay in Canada long-term.
