Owner Operator Manual and Federal Government

Employment Social Development Canada: The federal government has promised an updated owner/operator manual for some time; until then, here the first exemption and practical tips to use it, according to The Chronicle Herald. SPECIALIZED SERVICE TECHNICIANS/ SERVICE PROVIDERS An employer is exempt from the LMIA advertising requirements when the work the Temporary Foreign Worker will perform requires a specialist with proprietary knowledge and/or experience related to that work, the duration of the work is limited and there no opportunity for Canadians to be trained. But an Employment and Social Development Canada policy manual outlines two key exemptions to this requirement. Application: The applicant submission letter should request an exemption to the advertising requirements under the specialized service technicians/ service provider category and include descriptions of: The nature of the employer business, to provide some context about the role the specialized provider will fill. The employee specific experience, including how long the employer has employed her and any proprietary knowledge she holds about the employer products or services. The project or role the employee will undertake, in detail. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
