Leading companies and organizations across various industries (e.g., manufacturing, information technology, performing arts, loss prevention, waste recycling) seek guidance from Fasken on a variety of immigration matters, including work permit applications for newly-hired senior executives. Such applications are discretionary and require the employer to demonstrate that the individual’s hire will result in significant economic, social or cultural benefits or opportunities for Canadians, and that these benefits or opportunities are so clear and compelling that the importance of the Labour Market Impact Assessment process can be overcome.
Fasken advised these leading companies and organizations with a team led by a former lawyer and Stephanie Heinsohn-Spiropoulos.
