Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about international recruitment in Canada — for candidates and employers.

For candidates

Essential documents include: a valid passport (minimum 2 years), your professional degrees and certifications, a Canadian CV (chronological, no photo), letters of reference from your previous employers, a police certificate (judicial case), and, as appropriate, the results of a medical examination. Our team will guide you on documents specific to your situation.

The full process is carried out in several phases: Diagnostic (week 1), Selection of candidates (weeks 2-4), Filing of the EIMT and application for a work permit (month 2-4), and Arrival and commencement of duties (month 4-6). The total time frame therefore varies from 4 to 6 months on average, depending on the sector and country of origin.

No, never. Under Canadian law (particularly in Quebec and Ontario), it is strictly prohibited to charge candidates for the recruitment process. All of our fees are the sole responsibility of the Canadian employer. Beware of agencies asking applicants for fees — It's illegal.

The sectors in critical need are: Health (nurses, recipients) — absolute priority), construction (welders, carpenters, electricians), transport (drivers class 1 — Critical shortage), Trade (cookers, managers), Agriculture and Technology (cybersecurity, developers).

The EIMT is a document issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) that allows a Canadian employer to recruit a foreign worker. It proves that no Canadian or permanent resident is available for the position. Government costs are 1,000 $ the employer. We coordinate the entire process with our accredited immigration partners.

It is a program that allows employers outside Quebec to recruit Francophone or bilingual workers WITHOUT the need for an ITME. This means: no cost of 1,000 $/station, faster processing of work permits, and a bilingual advantage for the company. We actively exploit this program for our clients.

We offer a full integration service: airport reception, accommodation search assistance, bank account opening, local service orientation, and personalized follow-up during the first 6 months of employment to ensure a smooth transition.

There are many advantages: competitive wages (14 $ 16.77 $ CAD/h minimum, much more for skilled trades), free universal health care system, job stability with 2-3 year work permits, path to permanent residence, and quality of life among the best in the world.

For employers

Our tariff structure includes: $ at 1,500 $), investment fees (approximately 4,500 $ per candidate or 15-20% of annual salary), and an EIMT package (2,500 $ at 4,000 $ by file, including consultant). The government costs of EIMT (1,000 $ by post) are mandatory fixed fees. We offer discounts of 10-15% for recruitment in volume (5+ workers).

If the worker leaves the position or does not give satisfaction within the first 90 days, we resume the recruitment process without additional fees. This is our quality commitment to our employer clients.

Housing was the biggest brake in 2026. Although this is not always mandatory, employers who offer housing assistance (or contacts to facilitate settlement) attract the best applicants. The employer is responsible for transportation costs (airplane ticket) for low-wage workers.

No, we accompany both employers who already have experience with PTET and those who do not. We coordinate the entire process with our Accredited Immigration Consultants (CRIC) partners. We will guide you on the financial documents required by Service Canada.
