Immigration & Recruitment Specialist, Canada (Remote)
Job Description
Sama Talent Group places skilled tradespeople, drivers, technicians, engineers and hospitality staff with employers in Ireland and the UK, and is opening Canada. We run our own platform and our own trade test centres in Manila, Johannesburg and Dubai. We source in-country first, through our network of workers already living in Canada, and bring people in from abroad when the local market cannot fill the role.
Remote, based in Canada | Full-time or part-time | Competitive salary
You will be the person who knows how hiring from abroad works in Canada: the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (LMIA), the International Mobility Program and the provincial nominee programs, and the dealings with ESDC, IRCC and the provincial programs. You will also recruit locally, from our own network and from the market.
What you’ll do
- Advise employers and our team on the right route for each hire, and what it will take
- Prepare and file applications with the employer, and track every case to a decision
- Recruit in Canada first: candidates already in the country, then our overseas pipeline when the local market cannot fill the role
- Keep our Canada pages and guidance accurate as the rules change
What you’ll need
- Fluent English and fluent French (essential for Québec, an advantage everywhere else)
- Hands-on experience of work permits and immigration law in Canada: a legal qualification or the equivalent in practice
- Recruitment or HR experience, and access to local talent networks
- Knowledge of the local labour market: who hires, what they pay, where the shortages are
Les candidatures en français ou en anglais sont les bienvenues.
