How Afra Visa Helps Canadian Employers Solve Labour Shortages

Afra Visa is a trusted immigration consultancy that helps Canadian employers address labor shortages through international recruitment. As staffing gaps grow—especially in skilled trades, agriculture, healthcare, hospitality, and construction—more and more businesses are turning to immigration programs like the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) and the Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP) to meet their workforce needs.

Afra Visa offers a streamlined pathway for Canadian employers to access skilled foreign workers through these two key programs: LMIA for temporary hiring and RCIP for permanent recruitment. These immigration programs provide both immediate and long-term solutions to workforce shortages, helping employers build strong, sustainable teams.

1. Temporary Foreign Workers through LMIA

A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada may need to obtain before hiring a foreign worker. It confirms that:

  1. There is a genuine need for a foreign worker to fill the job.
  2. No Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available to do the job.

Afra Visa supports employers by:

  1. Determining if an LMIA is needed and what type.
  2. Preparing and submitting a compliant LMIA application.
  3. Guiding employers through recruitment advertising requirements.
  4. Assisting with job offer letters, wages, and employment contracts.
  5. Coordinating with foreign workers to prepare visa and work permit documents.

2. Permanent Residency Pathways through Provincial Programs

 

For employers seeking long-term staffing solutions, permanent immigration programs are a better fit. Afra Visa specializes in:

Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP)

The Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP) is designed to attract skilled foreign workers to smaller communities in Canada. Employers located in eligible RCIP communities can:

  1. Offer full-time, permanent jobs to qualified foreign nationals.
  2. Receive support from the community to recommend the worker for permanent residency.

Afra Visa helps by:

  1. Identifying eligible RCIP communities.
  2. Preparing employer eligibility documents.
  3. Coordinating with local economic development offices.
  4. Assisting workers in preparing permanent residence applications.
