When your clients ask your advice on hiring temporary foreign workers, do you know where to begin?  Even if your response is to ultimately refer them to an immigration law practitioner, it would be prudent to know the basics yourself.  Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program has been widely used by multinational and local employers in recent years, but recent changes have generated controversy and have caused employer concern.  Understanding the basics of the program can assist your clients in identifying potential pitfalls when employing foreign workers, and knowing which available programs are best suited to your clients' needs, can avoid costly mistakes and help them begin to plan successful international employee relocations.  Attend this program to:

• Discover which programs are available to bring foreign workers into Canada and obtain Work Permits
• Determine which international treaties, including NAFTA, can help your clients bring in foreign workers
• Understand the basic categories and features of various foreign worker programs
• Learn how to identify potential pitfalls and assist your client to avoid them  
• Help your client plan foreign worker relocations and deal with visa issues

Do not miss the opportunity to gain the fundamentals you should know from a leading immigration lawyer.
