Quebec has released the list as the country is facing the problem of declining birth rate. The existing population is also getting old and retiring from work. Canada Federation of Independent Business has generated a report which shows that there are around 64% of small businesses in Quebec alone that are in dire need of workers and labor.

LMIA process

Canadian employers have to show the proof about the positions advertised through different methods. The employers also have to show a proof regarding the recruit efforts that they have used different methods to occupy people from Quebec and Canada. The efforts include advertising the job positions done at least 28 days before applying for hiring overseas workers. The efforts will also include the number of interviews taken by the employers. The employers have to show proof that none of the people in Canada are fit for the job position. So there is a requirement of foreign workers. Are you looking to work in Quebec from Australia?
