Description And Objectives

The rules surrounding immigration and the hiring of foreign workers are evolving quickly. For organizations that already employ several foreign workers or regularly use these processes, it is becoming essential to understand the risks, regulatory changes and areas of vulnerability that may affect their operations.

This training aims to help employers, managers and HR professionals better anticipate issues related to changing rules, applicable restrictions, refusal rates, ratios, thresholds and contextual changes that may affect temporary immigration processes. It also addresses more sensitive situations, such as layoffs or dismissals of temporary foreign workers, open work permits for vulnerable workers, and the risks associated with certain administrative or organizational decisions.

The objective is to help organizations develop a better understanding of risk, adjust their internal practices and make more informed decisions when recruiting, employing or supporting foreign workers.

This training is intended for participants who already have some familiarity with hiring or managing foreign workers. It is particularly suited to organizations that want to go beyond the basic processes in order to better understand the risks, changes and complex situations that may affect their HR decisions.
