Hiring a skilled worker and supporting their permanent immigration

If you need to fill a full-time position in your company, you may want to make a permanent job offer to a skilled worker.

CIC works with Human Resources and Social Development Canada and Service Canada to make sure that hiring foreign workers supports economic growth and benefits all Canadians.

As an employer, you will apply to Service Canada who will assess the job offer. CIC is responsible for the employee’s part of the process.

To permanently immigrate to Canada, skilled workers must fill out an application under the Federal Skilled Worker class.

Note: Workers applying to become permanent residents of Quebec must apply to the ministère de l’Immigration et des Communautés culturelles.

CIC immigration officers will ensure that the applicant:

• has the proper documents
• is admissible to Canada, and
• meets the requirements of the skilled worker class.
