How many positions can you handle at once?

We support employers filing single hires up through large batch hiring across multiple roles and provinces.

What is the employer compliance fee?

A fee paid when hiring a foreign worker through certain streams — we confirm which apply and handle payment through the correct portal.

Can you help if we’ve had an LMIA refused before?

Yes — we review what went wrong and rebuild the recruitment or wage evidence before resubmitting.

Do you support ongoing hiring, not just one-time filings?

Yes — many employer clients use us as their ongoing foreign hiring partner across the year.
