Construction Employer's Roadmap

A Construction Employer’s Roadmap provides employers with information on the role of employment agencies and immigration consultants and provides an overview of Canada’s immigration programs and the different paths open to permanent residents, temporary residents, and workers outside of Canada. The roadmap offers advice on how to assess experience obtained in other countries, make job offers, develop orientation programs, and retain workers.
