Employers bringing Temporary Foreign Workers to Canada
Employers bringing in foreign workers is nothing new in Canada. Each year, we open our doors to more and more temporary workers. Companies across Canada look outside of our country to hire skilled workers to fill seasonal, temporary and long-term positions. With so many opportunities for work, it becomes an attractive option for potential immigrants choosing to come work here.
How does the process work?
If an employer is hiring temporary foreign workers with lower levels of formal training, depending on the province, they are responsible for providing emergency health insurance at no cost until the worker is eligible for provincial health insurance. In some provinces, the temporary foreign workers with a work permit of 12 months or more are eligible to apply for the provincial health care coverage.
With Dezyne, we don’t have to do each worker’s policy individually, we can put all their information on a spreadsheet to get all your workers completed at once. All we require is 5 business days advance notice.
