Employment Question: Permanent offer = Temp work will be ok?
 

Hello there all,

Having been investigating these options recently I've come across an interesting point. We all know that in order to work temporarily, you need a the work permit approved by HRDC, and if you want a permanent job, you have to wait for the processing time.

However, under http://www.hrdc.gc.ca/hrib/lmd-dmt/...mon/intro.shtml they state a temporary job offer can be made if "You have made an offer of indeterminate (permanent) employment to a foreign national who intends to apply for a permanent residency, and you intend for the foreign national to enter Canada to work before he/she has a permanent resident visa".

My question is therefore this: If you have been offered a permanent job, and intend to start work immediately - does the employer STILL have to advertise the job as per the guidelines (see here: http://www.hrdc.gc.ca/hrib/lmd-dmt/...temporary.shtml) for bringing a foreign worker into a temporary job?

I also note from the quote above they state "intends" to apply - not that you have to have already applied ... interesting.

Many thanks all,

Rob
