Canada's policy permits employers to recruit foreign workers needed for the effective functioning of the Canadian labour market. At the same time, it ensures employers have made every reasonable effort to locate or train Canadian citizens and permanent residents so the entry of foreign nationals will not adversely affect employment or career opportunities for Canadian citizens and permanent residents. In general, the offer of employment to a foreign worker requires confirmation by Service Canada (seepg. 106). In order to determine whether to confirm an offer of employment to a foreign worker, Service Canada assesses the potential effect of hiring the foreign national may have on the Canadian's access to jobs. The wages, working conditions, employer's recruitment efforts to consider Canadian citizens and permanent residents, and employer's human resource planning in terms of training the domestic workforce and the transfer of knowledge to Canadian citizens and permanent residents are also examined.
