ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE
Our Decentralized Organization Structure Supports Our Strategy:
Since the Organization’s founding more than 27 years ago, our organization structure has evolved into one unlike
any other organization of similar size. Our organization is comprised of 67 work camps 200 operating units each of which is
highly autonomous and accountable for its individual performance. This unique organization structure allows us to effectively
support our strategy of remaining the world's most comprehensive and broadly based employment center.
Our decentralized structure provides the means for us to offer you the opportunity and culture that's so inviting to work
in, along with other recruits for career development, advancement and impact. The atmosphere in each operating unit is characteristic
with the ability to adapt and respond easily to changes.
The real key to the success of our organization structure lies in how we manage these separate parts to function as a single,
cohesive entity. We do this by grouping our global affiliates into three segments and then overlaying each segment and its
affiliates with a transparent structure of alignment.
This unique organization structure, combined with our shared values unifies our global organization, and promotes the alignment
we need to support the foreign recruits work team.
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of our establishment is to achieve
a smooth supply and demand of human resources and a balanced development of the national economy by systematically introducing
and managing foreign workers.
The term "foreign worker" in this Act refers to a person who does not have a Canadian nationality and works or intends
to work in business or workplace located in Canada with the purpose of earning wages: provided, that among foreigners who
are granted the status of work permits eligible for employment pursuant to Article 18 of the Immigration Control Act.
Temporary Workers:
Canada's policy on foreign workers permits employers to recruit foreigners needed for the Canadian labour market. At the
same time, it ensures that employers have considered Canadian citizens and permanent residents and that the entry of foreign
workers will not adversely affect employment or career opportunities for Canadian citizens and permanent residents.
Employment Authorization: Every person, other than a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, who seeks to come to Canada
for the purpose of engaging in employment, must obtain employment authorization.
The process of obtaining an employment authorization requires two steps: Submitting an application for validation of an
offer of employment to a Canadian Employment Center; Submission of an application for the necessary work permit required to
work in Canada.
Definition of Employment:
"Employment" means any activity for which a person receives or might reasonably be expected to receive valuable consideration.
Therefore, some activities may constitute employment even if the person performing the activity is not receiving financial
compensation for the work or services involved.
Employment Authorization Exemptions Regulation 19(1) allows certain persons to be employment authorization exempt. These
individuals may enter Canada to work, or to carry on business or trade-related activities without the need to hold an employment
authorization. These persons enter Canada to take up duties, which are not related to the labor market.
They generally have occupations where international freedom of movement is deemed to be crucial, or they may represent
a foreign company or organization, which is not considered to compete with Canadian workers. The reasons that motivate their
admission are either political, religious and/or trade/oriented.
Employment Validation
Canada strives to protect employment opportunities for foreign workers through a process of validation of offers from employment
centers as a labor market process which determines that the employment of a foreign worker will not have an adverse effect
on employment opportunities for Canadian citizens and permanent residents. It is normally accepted by visa and immigration
officers as the basis to approve the issuance of an employment authorization, provided the foreign worker meets the qualifications
needed for the job and the general requirements of the Immigration Act.
Employment Validation Exemptions:
Regulation 20(5) recognizes that foreign workers need to be admitted for factors other than strict labor market consideration,
such as to meet economic, cultural, social and humanitarian objectives.
Validity Periods: In general, the longer the duration of temporary stay, the greater the onus will be on the individual
to provide evidence of temporary purpose at the time an application for an employment authorization or extension is made.
Circumstances to be considered include: Whether or not the temporary purpose can be defined clearly in terms of the activities
being performed and the duration of stay. Whether or not another temporary purpose is identified after the original purpose
for entry has been achieved; and whether or not the employment is being used to circumvent procedures applicable to permanent
employment (permanent validation) or permanent residence.
There are certain limits on the duration of employment authorizations. Briefly stated, authorizations may be issued for
up to three years, except when limited by other pre-determined time frames, one year in the case of prescribed group of persons
various time frames depending on certain circumstances surrounding refugee claims.
Medical Requirements:
The immigration Act requires every immigrant and every visitor of a prescribed class undergo medical examination, it defines
the two prescribed classes of visitors: those who will be working in certain designated occupations; or those who are subject
to the six-month rule applying to length of stay and previous country of residence
Assessment:
All applications will be registered with the head office before forwarded
to the Zonal coordinators to select the most suitable candidates.
The assessment process is designed to assess your skills and job-related aptitudes in a fair and objective way. Whatever
form it takes you will have plenty of opportunity to ask questions and discuss the career options available to you.
