Good day, gentlemen. Thank you for being here today and for shedding some light on this rather unique subject.
According to the background material made available to us, the prospective workers are the ones who must apply, in their own country, for a temporary work permit. However, the employer is the one who is subsequently evaluated. The provinces are also involved in this matter. I would like someone to explain to me how the process works. I assume the wheels are set in motion when a particular employer needs workers.
Does that employer contact Human Resources and Social Development Canada directly to find foreign workers or must he first go through his provincial government? There are after all a number of agreements in place.
