Steps involved to get HRSDC approval for a CA employer to hire foreign employee?

[rajnik1976]

Hi All,

Greetings from India!!

One of my husband's best friends living in Brampton, Canada from the last 4.5 years. He is a successfull business man now and own a freight forwarding company (logistics & transportation) there. His company is now more than 3 years old and registered with Canadian authorities and he is paying income tax regularily.

Since he also wants us to move to Canada so he wants to help my husband with employment. My husband can ask him for a job offer letter which I believe is a lengthy & difficult process so in this regard I would like to know the steps involved to get approval from HRSDC.

What he has to do to offer him a job in Canada?

I would appreciate your valuable comments.

Best Regards,
RAJNI

Read http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/eng/workplaceskills/foreign_workers/supperimm.shtml to find out how to apply for AEO or LMO. An AEO is for immigration only, not for working. It is only given out for a skilled job. HRSDC will check that the job offer is real. An LMO is used to get a temporary work permit and for that, the employer has to show having advertised the job for a certain amount of time and nobody applied.

If your husband can get 67 or more points on the self assessment for skilled worker, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assess/index.asp he can apply for you both if he has an AEO from his friend.

If he can't get 67 points, the friend can try applying for an LMO for him and he can apply for a work permit and will have a chance to apply for residency later.

Thanks Leon for posting here.

My husband can get around 70 points (without job offer from Canada) but the problem is his occupation (Manager - Marketing) is not listed in the current 38 occupations. Can he still apply with an AEO from Canada?

 

[Leon]

Yes, he can apply. FSW has 3 categories, the list of 38 is category 1, having an AEO is category 2.

You can look for jobs at some of these sites:

http://www.canadavisa.com/career_zone/canadian-immigration-job-search.htm
http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/
http://www.eluta.ca/
http://www.monster.ca/
http://www.workopolis.com/

It's not easy to get an AEO. Most people who are advertising jobs on these websites are looking for people who don't need PR or work permit and can start soon but there is always a chance.

Dear Leon,

Thanks a lot. Could you please also tell us how we can proceed further, what should my husband's friend do to issue the job offer? what are the steps involved?

One more thing I would like to ask, is it necessary to have the employment offer in a trade which is relevant to my husband's work experience/qualification? he has more than 8 years of work experience in marketing and currently working as Manager - Marketing in an Indian company.

Or he may be offered any other position in my husband's friend company such as Office Administrator/Manager/Clerk?

Please guide.

Best Regards,
RAJNI

Well rajni the link provided by Leon contains all info about applying.Your husband's friend needs to download some forms from that link ,get them filled and send them to service Canada alongwith all other necessary documents needed about his business.Its an easy process and if ur husband's friend's company s registered and genuine ,he should not ve any problem in getting a positive AEO.
As far as a job offer s concerned , it would be better if he could offer him a job relating his profession and education in order to avoid any rejection by HRSDC or even by CIC in future.

All the best.

Thanks a lot newcomer, your answer is really helpful and much appreciated.

Which country you are from and what are your timelines of immigration process with an AEO in hand?

Would like to know.

 

[newcomer]

Well I am a Pakistani but currently residing out of my home country and had already applied thru London CHc two years back.

Yes, he can apply. FSW has 3 categories, the list of 38 is category 1, having an AEO is category 2.

Hi Leon

What is the FSW3 category ?

 

[Leon]

Category 3 is for people who are already in Canada as students or on a work permit and have been in Canada for 12 months or more.

 

[Leon]

One more thing I would like to ask, is it necessary to have the employment offer in a trade which is relevant to my husband's work experience/qualification? he has more than 8 years of work experience in marketing and currently working as Manager - Marketing in an Indian company.

Or he may be offered any other position in my husband's friend company such as Office Administrator/Manager/Clerk?

The AEO has to be for a skilled job so clerk will not work. Manager or Office administrator could work. I the AEO job is too far from his experience, immigration can refuse the AEO.

 

[rajnik1976]

Thanks Leon.

My husband has over 8 years of experience in marketing so if he gets an AEO for a job of Office Administrator/Manager - will it work for him?

If so, what should be the minimum monthly pay our employer has to offer us so HRSDC approve the AEO.

Any idea?

Await your reply.
